Pretty simple song, Just arpeggiate through the chords, use a nice clean sounding guitar,
if you're playing an electric a telecaster works amazingly, or any acoustic guitar. The
outro might be wrong, it's kind of hard to hear on the record, but it's my approximation of it.

But it dAidn't last, beyond thF#me day
I've had Eglimpses around the F#mbend
But in thAe morningE, I start Aagain
I feel thAe sun, hot on my F#mface (mmhm)
And I hear mAy blood giviF#mng way
I've had some Eglimpses around thF#me bend
You know if I Adidn't, I'd have kEilled myself tAoday
Chorus:
Now mama I'm sBmo tired, from the Ebullshit
