Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I matched this tab to how they played it AND what they sang on the Conan O’Brien show. The F-Cs are really fast changes. I put the F-C changes right on the HO/ HEYs, but they are played right after the previous line. Listening to the song should help it all make sense.
