It's much better to have the lyrics included. If you aren't singing
as you play, then you should be!!!! In the chorus,
the bass should be prominent on first chord strike.
You can play with it and make it your own after that.
This is the true beauty with a lot of Dave's songs.
Make it your own!
I have include the fingering on the initial riffs.
Lyrics on top, and Guide on the bottom.

Then again
