Capo VII
Tuning: EADGAE (B-string tuned one step down)
Listen to the record carefully to get the hang of the rhythm, he does a lot
of hammer-ons and pull-offs
on the A5 and D7 chords. Really accent the bass notes on the 'A5 G/B G' in
the chorus.
I simplified the chord names somewhat, he mostly drones the two top strings
open over every chord.
