I have made one mistake on the song. I think it's the bridge. It should go like this: e-------------------------------------------------------------------- b------------------------------------------------------------------- g----------------------------------9--9--9--9-9-9--10-10-10-10-10-10 d--7--7--7--7-7-7--8--8--8--8-8-8--9--9--9--9-9-9--10-10-10-10-10-10 a--7--7--7--7-7-7--8--8--8--8-8-8--7--9--9--7-7-7---8--8--8--8--8--8 e--5--5--5--5-5-5--6--6--6--6-6-6----------------------------------- Sorry, fot the mistake.

I don't find this to my liking... the way I play it sounds like the version 3, people are better off checking that one out.

this is cack, and its such an easy song, nimwit.
