to get an idea of exactly how the finger picking should

be played.

The strumming here is not quite right on the G chord but listen to the

recording and you'll soon get it right.

Back to repeat first half of intro,

Then repeat verse,

||---------------|| This repeats the whole way through

||---------------|| the solo which unfortunately I can't

||*-------------*|| play yet.

Finally play one last verse but finish on:

Well there it is, it's a little rough in places but you should be able to

work out the whole song from here. Hope you enjoy, it really is a great

song. If you have any comments or queries please mail me at:

<97118117@student.napier.ac.uk> I would also be very grateful if someone

would either post on the OLGA or mail me the solo.

Have Fun !!!
