Hopefully this isn't to difficult to figure out, just listen to the CD
and you should be able to get the timing! I didn't tab out the background
guitar but if you need them I will tab it out for you. If you have questions,
comments, or just feel like BS'ing, My email is at the top and My AOL username

Oleander kicks ass!
