NOTES:

I find that the best way to play this song is to fingerpick it.
It's much easier to sound like the recording that way.  Try to 
sustain the single notes as long as possible, while being very 
staccato with the chords. Listen to the song to get a feel for 
what I mean.

I'll add the second guitar part and the solo as soon as i figure 
them out (I'm about half done). Until then, enjoy.
