Okay, so i looked at the other tab already. Heres an easier way to play it and, in my
opinion a better way. Listen to the CD a few times it's not that hard to get the
strumming right. A lot of Dempsey's songs use the same chords so play around with
them and you might get 1 or 2 yourself
     N.B   Instead of using a full F i don't play the 6th string and i play the 1st open.
It sounds better and its easier. Instead of playing G a second time in the Chorus i slide
F up 2 frets but I don't know what chord that is so I'll just tab it as G 'cos you can
play it that way as well. Dunno if i play the write strings in the chords but this is
how i do it.
P.S Please tab some more Dempsey songs
