Notes: Good song, though short, its 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
you want to do this, just 变调夹夹3品rd instead of 2nd. Oh, and please dont mind my chord
Im lazy. Theyll be notated as if no capo is present.
Tuning: Standard w/ CAPO 2nd
前奏: Listen for rhythm. Its 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.

on its own, then head to the A2 to simplify it.

the rhythm right.
