This is an Awesome Song and I hope you enjoy it! 
Helpful hints: I recommend finger picking throughout utilizing your thumb to 
control the passing bass line. Chords in parenthesis mean they are quick. They 
just mean that you are walking the bass to the next chord so you really don't have 
to change anything except that bass note. Basically they are just passing tones on 
the way to the next chord so they 
are optional but it sounds better. :P
