Another tune I couldn't find on here, so have subbed how I play it,
the Drun is just a D chord played slowly down then back up,
play with it yourself, see what feels and sounds right for you.
I have probably made a pile of mistakes on this one, but if it
prompts someone else to submit a better version, everyone wins.
As always any mistukes, feck ups or otherwise are mine,
if you like it, go on, go mad RATE IT !
