This song has a trick ! The guitar is tuned one tune lower (the E low and A strings at least)
so the chords Roddy uses on the CD are very hard to explain. This is an arrangement with
basic chords for playing them like a "rhythm guitar" with no arpeggios. I've also included
tabs for a small "riff" on every chord (see below). Notice that D7 is almost the same as Am,
the difference is on the bass line.
