This is a brand-new song from Collective Soul.  It appears on the 7even Year
Itch album.  It is very cool and very easy.  On the actual recording, I think
they actually use Standard Eb tuning, but there was really no point at all in
doing so.  They could have just moved everything back one fret, and that is just
what I did here.

I read on some website that Collective Soul's new album will be an independent
release and will be out next month (Feb. 2004), but that site hasn't been updated
in like four months.  Anyone who has any further information, please make it known.
