Hi All,

I've had a couple of requests for this.  It's a very simple song 
based on 1st, 4th and 5th (C, F, G).  It is repetitious and you 
could find it boring if you don't vary sincopation and occasionally 
hit double notes with your thumb on alternate notes.  Listen to the 
CD if you want more details.  I got this off Return of the Repressed  
Give it a bit of bounce and it's a great song to play.

Enjoy
Damien
