Ok, This my take on this song for an Acoustic duo performance...I do this with a female
singer ...it works...people like it..
I did my best to transpose the Banjo for guitar...the Banjo repeats pretty much
throughout the song, with a few Power (barre) chords thrown it..and a timely pause here and
there...and if you can get the crowd to clap in place of the kick drum it helps too!
Listen to the original to get the feel and structure...and of course play with it a bit
to make it your own...this is meant to be a guide..not a definitive chart!...all
corrections and additions are welcome...go easy...this is my first tab lmao!
Enjoy and I hope SOMEONE finds this helpful!
