The song is quite redundant in its rhythm, and so
easy to learn.
And with all the tappings make it really easy.
Try to play this along with the original, until you
can do it by
your own.
Enjoy the tab!

This is my 4th tab submitted to OLGA.net. I hope this
would be
accepted also. =) Just 2 hours of ear exercise before
going to school.
This is one of my many "all my own work" pieces in my
9 year music
history.
