standard tuning.
intro: (i only wrote out the melody on the upper strings..
i believe it goes through 3x) rhythm is dotted

listen to the cd for the rhythm, it goes kinda like: XX--XX--XX--X-X- if each
dash is an eighth note and that's two bars rhythmically. The A chord is on the
last two quarter notes X-X- and the D is on the XX--XX it has a slight swing
feel with the eighths, don't play it straight. Feel free to embellish the rhythm,
this is just a basic guideline.
Couldn't ask for a better day, two by two
D A A D
To the ring to the right point of view
D A A D
Each retreat to the corner that's defined by you
D A A D
To the ring to the right point of...
D A
the rhythm changes up here X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X all on quarter notes, each chord gets
two quarter notes. really it feels more like a quarter and then two eighths, but
most simply, you can just do two quarters.
