TAKE IT EASY

This song is their first single ever. It's really cool, even though I can't
sing it because it's too high. I did the acoustic part first, but at the end
there's an electric part. A buddy of mine from UMass named Nate Mutti sent
it up to me a couple of weeks ago, and I finally put it in. Thanks a lot Nate!

Timing may be off, look at it, play along, work with it. (Nate's words)
As far as I'm concerned, this is a really great tab. I picked it up in
about fifteen minutes, and it's a lot of fun to play. (Dansm's words)
