Notes: Good song, though short, it’s fun to do. I arranged it for one acoustic, so if
have a bass player, neglect all “passing tones.” THIS CAN BE PLAYED IN THE Eb STANDARD
I’m lazy. They’ll be notated as if no capo is present.
Tuning: Standard w/ CAPO 2nd
Intro: Listen for rhythm. It’s like a country two-step feel, so hit the bass notes on own, then stress the higher strings on the strumming. This is especially important on the tones, like the E/F# and the A2/B.

And that’s the end of that one. Remember to keep that rhythm going throughout the song,
hope you have a bass player to make your job easier. Have fun, God bless.
