Heard this song on Smallville the other night and decided to tab it.

Okay, this song rocks and is fairly easy to play.  Just tune your axe to a drop “D” and strum along.  I’ll have to admit that the solo is just my easy way of playing it (saw a few other versions but weren’t worth sweating it out to play this short part), and is just accurate enough to sound good when playing out somewhere.  Have fun!
