tune it to G if you can, for accidental hits / resonances - plus 
you can play Black Eyed Dog too!)

notes:
* - this 5 becomes a 7 on the 3rd line of the verse

" - the left hand comes off to move up the neck
(the slightly discordant bass notes in the penultimate bar shouldn't
 be played too loud)

bar in the verse)
