This is what jason tait plays, the leads, john sampson just strums the chords so
find a friend to strum with you throught the intro and verse you can use a tremelo
if you have one if not it doesn�t really matter its really a good song to rock out
too cause the lead is so simple the weakerthans are so smart  sorry you�ll have to
get the timeing from the song. The drums are fantastic in this song too.  the A/E
chord may sound funny if your playing it by yourself but trust me its right

Tuning: standard
