CHORDS:

EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
G5 (355xxx) C5 (x355xx) E5 (022xxx)
F5 (133xxx) D5 (x577xx)
Eb5 (x688xx) Bb5 (x133xx)
NOTES:
This is a great song. Try playing the Eb5 as (6688xx). I think it
sounds pretty good but I'm not sure if that's the way they play
it. There are two guitars, sometimes three, in this song.
