(Oh yeah, and for the solo, if you don’t want to play the solo, its just the verse riff which is played underneath the solo!!) Well that is it… it’s a really easy song to play!! But you can mess around with it, and have fun!!!!... order: Intro x3 Verse x8 Chorus Verse x10 Chorus Verse x2 Solo Chorus Verse x4 Email me with any questions or comments to guitar_girl_clare@hotmail.com xooxClarExooox
