This cover of yours is driving me insane: I've got blisters on my fingers from "trying" to play along, I make people's ears bleeing from "trying" to sing along, and when it comes to the tambourine, I wanna smash my guitar entirely out of frustation for losing the last bit of coordination .. my hands not knowing what the heck the foot's doing and vice versa but you know what? It is WORTH it !!! Thanx for helping out with this vid :)

thanks, I needed to know the chords for the chorus

[sjomega]

is wrong key but never mind. Definately sounds better with the major 7 though if you are looking for tabs.

[IamZombiex]
