This tab is real beginner material (so don't bitch at me if you 
find it too easy). If you aren't comfortable slapping/popping, 
just pluck the strings - sounds good either way you do it. Remember 
to mess around with the timings to get that groovy sound. Other 
than that, have fun.

s = slap
p = pop
h = hammer-on
