If they can keep putting together albums like this one I don't think they will have any problems, that's not to say that I didn't like Marc Olson in the band, but the new sound is incredible. This song is pretty easy, but there is one kind of tricky part when it comes to the C-F-C-G combo. This part will be diagramed like this C h F C G C. What I mean by this is that it sounds like there is a little bit of hammering on going on during the C-F-C-G progression. It is more or less when the C goes to F and then back to C. After a few times you should be able to hear it. Sorry if the slashes confuse you, they make it easier for me to time it out.

I am pretty confident with most of it, but I know there are a few grey areas so any suggestions would be great.
