I've resisted putting this song on the site for quite a while -- the reasons are utterly unimportant -- but once I made the decision to do the transcription, I found that there's a lot to work with for a guitarist on this song. Now I almost wish I'd done it sooner. Almost.

The lyric and guitar chord transcriptions on this site are the work of The Guitarguy and are intended for private study, research, or educational purposes only. Individual transcriptions are inspired by and and based upon the recorded versions cited, but are not necessarily exact replications of those recorded versions.
