This is a nice simple acoustic guitar track off of Rainbow Kitten Surprise's Sophomore LP: 'RKS'
The song contains only 3 chords each of which are just two notes finger-picked to a very simple pattern.
Below I have tabbed the notes and the pattern that is played every time each chord is referenced.
All of the chords are repeated for either a full or a half measure of the tab.
Enjoy.
