******************************************
NOTE: This is the album, not radio version of this song.
This song is very easy to play, and one of the best. I have included the
*full* lyrics - the female background parts as well; they are in parentheses.
The "D*" is a regular D chord that you basically strum *down-up* before going
on, but it's optional (you don't have to play it if you don't want to - it
just makes it a little more "real" sounding).
Please e-mail me at Dblklick@aol.com and let me know what you think. - Matt
