This is a cool song, so enjoy.

Difford and Tilbrook often perform this song acoustic -- in fact, I started playing it after seeing them on an early "Unplugged" before it got trendy with big stars. Note: I use G# and climb back down to G on the chorus, but on TV they played a different chord which I couldn't figure out visually. Also, they skip the solo and go straight to the last verse...Enjoy!
