Here's a finger-picked version of the song off of the Greatest Hits album.  It has all
recognizable fills, most of the bass line, and the rest is finger-picking rhythms that
to go well.  It's not exactly what he plays, but I find for solo guitar fingerpicking 
the way through sounds much nicer than the chords.


Enjoy!

CAPO 3rd fret
