This song is on the Everything to Everyone CD. I hope they will make a single
out of this out because it is just brilliant.
Thanks to a guy named Dave Patthews for his work on the song. My version is
basically his first tab with some corrections.
No capo and standard tuning. Any corrections are welcome !
