Before you start ,put the guitar down,
and just listen to song and read along.
Tabs always make way more sense that way.
Especially on a song like this. Keep in
mind that some of the sections in my tab
aren't 100% accurate as far as strum pattern
and such due to Brian Setzer(guitar god)
playing in a loose jazzy fashion. But at
any rate you should end up with your
fingers in the right place and get a
feel for the chords.Ok let's go:



Song starts with just bass and drums.

Guitar= mostly clean w/reverb
