Comment: |
From what I can tell, this isn't 100% the same exact chords as the original, but these tabs are easier to play. Once you pick out the A, E, and D chords, the intro and one of the instrumentsal use the same tabs. The other instrumental is different but definitely worth learning and not too difficult. Have fun! |
