Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
This is basicly correct. You can't really hear the finger-picking that good, but I
think this is the right one. The other tabs on this site are good only these 2
strings that you need to pick didn't were in those other acoustic versions.
So basicly I corrected a tiny bit in the finer-picking section. Anyways...
EDIT: This should be the Acoustic version. I forgot to put it behind the title
of the song. Sorry for that, so if anyone can fix it, that will be appreciated.

Summer Of '69 (Acoustic)
========================
The version 2 of this tab is pretty accurate but lacked the picking of the chorus part,
i got from a live acoustic performance. It just makes the song sound better when using
acoustic.
