Notes:

I found the previous tab hard to follow and played around with the chords

a little to get the rhythm down first. In doing so, I discovered that by

simply removing the A note off the C chord it sounded closer to the song.

Then, by changing the C to a Cadd9 and doing the same thing, song became

extremely simple to play and still sounds great (on my guitar, actually

better this way, to me). Thus creating the "Aadd9" (A9*) for lack of a name.

(Sure you'll let me know the real chord)

I show the basic Intro and Verse progressions above. I suggest just

strumming until you get the rhythm down as it's not a very complicated

song. Then by adding in base lines especially on the G chords, and using

some middle string strumming you can make things a bit more interesting.

Anyways, I love this song and give thanks and credit to for the original

post. If you're looking, this is a great acoustic solo-artist song.

(Hopefully, this version works with formatting, else I give up - sorry for the previous one)
