        NOTES:
        - For the F chord in the intro, with your middle finger, hammer on
          and off the G string from open to 2nd fret.  Listen to it to get the
          rhythm right.
        - For the C chord in the intro/verse pattern, hammer on and pull off 	
          on the second fret of the D string and then hammer on and pull off on 	
          the second fret of the G string.
        - Hitting the bass notes with the C & F chords are the key
          to the intro and verse (designated by ^)
        - In the bridge, slide the F pattern up two frets to make the G chord.
