The key to this song is to keep it simple and groovin'. Start with the basic rhythm and get into the mood.
Then go over to verse 1. Break. After that go on with verse 2 adding more and more patterns to the groove.
That's it. The Offenbach original is in Cm. For acoustic guitars it's best played with capo 3.
