Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
A fantastic song yet rather simple to play. The song consists of three repetitive chords
and a catchy guitar riff. If you have a hard time playing only barre chords you can transopse it (+2)
and put a capo on the 2nd fret. This is a simple rendering after a few listens to the song, so don't
expect it to be 100% accurate.
Please comment if there are any concerns.

[Verse 1]
You learn a

When your viny

You're getting
spirituality
enlightened at

[Chorus]
So just give y
ourself a try
Won't you give
yourself a tr

Won't you give
yourself a tr
y?
Won't you gi-i

'And what wo

Growing a bear
