And you now have all the bits you need to know to play this
song. It's relatively easy, just note that the
chords for the verse are played mainly with upstrokes to give it a
swing-type feel. The
lyrics posted in this node seem to be correct, so use them. I believe this is the first tab of this anywhere on the net at the time of writing, and
comments and suggestions are much appreciated. /msg me in the
chatterbox if you have anything to add to this
tab.
