I really enjoy this song. I discovered it in the movie "Almost Famous." But when I 
went to look up the chords for the song there were in the Key of G which was not 
right. After messing around with it for a while I found out it was in the Key of 
F. But, it is easier to play it with a capo and that is what this tab is in. For 
me this is just a chill song to pick along with. Hope you enjoy it!
