Sweet Tune, Heard the acoustic version on radio so i thought i'd share it with you guys! 
is my own version of the acoustic one i've tried to make as accurate as possible.
To play it exactly like the real version i'd play it half a step down on capo 1, but it 
works if you wana leave it standard without a capo.
