we've got three riffs for this beautiful song, perfect for the summer.
my tab is not too perfect - but it does give you a great start. this song works better
you play to quickly like Josh so train first playing it and only later to sing it along.
riff1
this is the intro and verses. play this quickly, but it's not too difficult. the "333"
