On the album, Mike Connell (Gtr. 1) plays straight chords, while George Huntley (Gtr. 2 & 3) provides some tasty fills and a nice simple solo. I'll tab fills for Gtr. 2 later.... This song is most easily played w/ a capo on 2nd fret for Gtr. 1. All tabs (except for solo) are for fingerings w/ capo. So what's written as "A" sounds as a "B" chord, and so forth.
