---- SEEING ANGELS ----
                        Music & Lyrics by John Butler
           From the album "Sunrise Over Sea" by the John Butler Trio

Alright guys, this is a rough sketch of "Seeing Angels".  Obviously, it is hard to 
all of the little improvs that John adds to each verse, but this should give you an idea of 
to go with it!

Make sure you listen to the song when playing this, because I didn't include
the rhythm, timing, or amount of strums for any of the chords.  Also, make sure you 
the percussive sound that John does throughout the song (I lightly showed this in the 
with the Palm Mutes).
