Gtr. 1 - Capo on 8th.
Gtr. 2 – No capo
Both in standard tuning in 3/4 time

One of Sammy’s best songs. Hope my tab makes sense.  Any comments or changes email me.  
of course, LISTEN TO THE SONG, tabs are not notation. Also, song will not sound complete 
the Piano.

Verse: Gtr. 1

** Gtr. 2 can play the intro riff over the chorus chords.
Works just as well.
The Gtr.2 also trades off on playing just the basic bar chords over what Sammy (Gtr.1) 
while he sings.
