John plays this song in Open B or something, and if you are
interested in finding a tab of this song in that tuning, head
to http://www.johnbutlertrio.com to see it. This tab, however,
is in Standard tuning if you don't have two guitars - or are
like me and can't be bothered tuning your guitar differently :)

Solo
After watching the film clip and seeing that John plays this with a slide,
I've decided not to try and attempt to tab it. Just solo over B - F# - D

Sorry, I realise this tab's kind of all over the place, but it'll do
Also, there are so many different fills and riffs that it's pointless
to even attempt to do so. Oh well, have fun.
