(Notes: Capo on 3rd fret. Either that or you can just play it without,
but it'll sound strange if you play along to the album (strangely enough).
Also, use a basic wah wah pedal for the album version. The live version
(played by Love Shark) on an acoustic, is just strummed nicely. Work it
out by seeing them live...they're incredible. But keep in mind I based
this on the live version, so there may be slight differences).
