This song is pretty simple to play and fun too..
During the verse, feel free to improvise a bit, dont stick
to exactly what is written, keep it loose..add an extra note here
and there....
On the palm muted section of the solo, its a bit easier
to use downstrokes instead of alternating strokes..
I know I have some mistakes, and I couldnt put everything on
here....There just isnt enough room....But its pretty accurate.
Good Luck and enjoy...!
