As per most of my tabs, I play this in CGCGCC tuning with power chords, (and John probably plays it in CGCGCE) but here it is in triad form. Probably better with barre chords for the syncopated effect. This is a lesser known track of JBT's, and one you should probably look up on Youtube if you don't know it.
