This is my "open mic-nite" version. It holds its own and is a lot easier
to play! This version sounds great with no other instrument accompaniment! 

***Play POWER CHORDS where you see the "open chord" notations to give the song a heavier sound ***


I can see that my contribution has really taken off 
since I submitted it. Thanks for paying it a visit. If you like this 
version, don't forget to give it a good rating! 

02-28-2010 . . . Finished adding the rest of the chord changes
and I added CC's solo, but the way I play it(you won't need a 
whammy bar but you will need a good thumb capo).

Intro: G power chord, D power chord (A string 5th fret), 
C power chord (A-3), B power chord (A-2), open A chord. 
The strumming is 1,1-2 for the first 3 chords, for the C power chord, 
strum it 4 more times, then the B and A once.

use POWER CHORD equivalents for a more percussive rhythm
(Note~ each period "." after the lyric represents single chord strikes)
