******************************************
NOTE: This is the album, not radio version of this song.
This song is very easy to play, and one of the best. I have included the
*full* lyrics — the female background parts as well; they are in parentheses.
The «D*» is a regular D chord that you basically strum *down-up* before going
On, but it’s optional (you don’t have to play it if you don’t want to — it
Just makes it a little more «real» sounding).
Please e-mail me at [email protected] and let me know what you think. — Matt
Here is how you play each chord:
