Remember the tuning is Eb. I think the rattling in the background is the rattle of the drums. You'll recognize it if you've ever played in a room with drums. Enjoy. :-) Alex Spitzer.

That?s pretty much all there is to the song. you?ll have to listen to it to get the exact rhythms right, I think the notes are all right. =P Comments or corrections: Geek [email protected]
