I figured out all of the parts, and I'm pretty sure they are right. It's a fun song to play, and it's not that difficult. If you have any comments or corrections, you can e-mail me. ***Capo 1st Fret on all guitars (Capo is shown as being the nut) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Am C G5 G5/F Asus2 Cmaj7/E G6 Fmaj7#11?
