                                       x 2

Performance notes: 
- most of the guitar is just strummed once and held for the two beats, 
  four beats or even two bars!! 
- major 'chunky' (as opposed to 'smooth' like the peanut butter) 
  distortion with little treble on the guitar 

Have fun with it and enjoy!
