This is a great song by one of my 
all-time favorite bands, Goldfinga!
The song, does, however, have lots 
of little bits and pieces to play. 
So,

Main/Intro riff: (repeated)

Then repeat chorus, playing a barred

Whew! That's pretty much all I've 
got.  It took me a while to figure 
this
one out, and there may be some 
other, better ways to play this 
song. If
you have any questions, comments, 
changes, or maybe even requests, 
e-mail
me and I'll see what I can do you 
for.
