Many people hate it, but I think it's underrated, and it's lovely to play for yourself as a warm-up exercise or just to kill some time. Playing info: * This song is played on an acoustic 6-stringed guitar tuned down ½ step (D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-d#, from thick to thin). * Oscar fingerpicks it all except the final chord, which seems to be a downstroke strummed with a pick (though I could be wrong, of course). * Note that the song is in 3/4 (three quarters), so be sure to count correctly (1, 2, 3...1, 2, 3...etc).
