always ringin'. You, however, can choose not to play it, as
in the elec version, if you don't like it. I think it
gives a fuller sound.

If you can play
the song elec, you can figure out the variations
based on what I've tabbed. The whole song and all
the changes of the above basic riff would be
quite alot of tab...
