Version 3
Fairly easy song. The hammer on that is heard in the beginning is the bottom F# to a G in the G chord from
what I can hear. Same with the C chord except it is a B to C. This is my first tab so I know it will not
be perfect. The chords in the intro and outro are displayed by measures. So G for 4 counts, then C.
Key of G - Key change to A
No Capo
