Note:  This is my first time writing a tab.  I think it's right.  If you have a recorded 
of the song, you just have to listen past the yukalale.  I'm not really sure how matt 
picks the song but I just pick it this way and it sounds pretty good.  Hope you enjoy it 
rate it if you get a chance, or send me an email me with any comments.
