----------------------------------

    I first heard this song when my friend asked if we could learn it to play at a
fundraiser. I couldn't find a tab, so I tried to figure it out by ear. I think what I
have here
is pretty close, but let me know if you think anything is off, or you've found sound
something that sounds better. My e-mail is: Freeze1186@neo.rr.com. Lastly, if you maybe don't
know the G/B chord, it's fingered: (lowest string to highest) x20033.
