NOTES:  This song is arranged for a 
single acoustic guitar and therefore
 adds
some notes to fill in the missing 
bass line.  Remember, all "B" chords
 are really
"B/F#".  I hope this helps someone 
to play it live.  --kidguitar.

INTRO RIFF: For the intro riff, 
alternately remove your finger from 
the "D"
string to mimic the bass line (this 
temporarily forms the E7 chord).  
When
forming this E7, be sure not to pick
 the low "E" string to emphasize the
 bass
line.  Alternately, you can 
emphasize this bass line by also 
removing your
finger from the "A" string to form 
an implied E7sus4 (its implied b/c 
there is
no "5th," but I digress).  To 
emphasize the vibrato chord notes (3
 and 1, i.e.
G# and E), slide to a partial chord 
at the fourth fret.  During the 
intro, if
you alternate measures with the A2 
and the A chord, you can mimic the 
subtle
A2 sound.  Remember, all suspended 
chords have a memory to the ear 
(that's why
they're call 'suspended' tones).

VERSE CHORDS: If the A2 becomes 
overpowering, alternate measures 
with A2 and
A.

CHORUS:  When playing the A/C# 
chord, don't even try to finger the 
fifth fret
on the high "e" string, just 
concentrate on the fifth fret of the
 "B" string.

BRIDGE:  This is fun.  If the chord 
has an "alt" by it, alternately take
 your
lowest fretted finger off the chord 
to openly ring open between strums.
Here's the tab.
