Brian actually plays this on an ukele banjo. This is only an approximate
transcription for guitar. Gotta play it in that fast, Dixie style. (Or is it
Charleston? Anyways....) The *really* tough part, where you'll need the most
practice, is the C, B7, Bb7, A7, Dm7, Ebdim7, G7, C, G7#5 run. (Whoosh!) Once you
can play that, the rest of the song is a cinch.
