This is "Celebrate" by the Levellers and is the third single on the "Mouth
to Mouth" album. Like all Levellers songs it is quite easy to play but it
is very enjoyable. The guitar should be capoed on the third fret so it can
be played in D and therefore sound like the CD. If you have any corrections
mail me at Matt.Kilsby@BTInternet.com
