This is the Rhythm part to the song only, other tabs on this website corporate both the rhythm and lead in to the same tab page and for learners this may be quite difficult to understand, so i have written up my own tab of how i learnt to play the song by ear for other people to then learn.Was this info helpful?
Difficulty: beginner
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: no capo

This is the rhythm guitar tab to the song played by Kele.
I would like to point out that this is how i play this song and could be changed to add more effect.
