This version is really easy to play! It sounds fine on an acoustic guitar
but it may be boring if you don't play it with a 'smart' rhythm and some
hammer-ons from time to time.

Instrumental part: play G (There it gets really boring. Ask one of
your friends to play the harmonica (Springsteen, Dylan or better, Alanis
herself) or jump to the next chorus!)
