Tabbed by: DJ  31st Oct 2014

A simple version for acoustic guitar

CAPO: 2nd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of E) 

Hammer-on the D chords to give it that funky feel.  In some live
versions the band play a G7, instead of the G, at the end of the
first 3 lines of the choruses.

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
