I suggest you try to hunt down this fine little piece of vinyl. It's worth it! For this song you need a guitar with a tremolo arm (which I don't have...) to play it exactly like Geoff, but it works fine without as well. Geoff uses the arm to put accents on some of the chords, I've tried to point out where. Except for that it's pretty simple but really nice to play. Go to it!
