I had run into this tune when playing with the younger crowd so I decided to sit down and learn it. You made it simple. Thanks!

@@MandoMikeLessons just one question if i may ask, why do some notes have a circle round them?

[@dougmccauley369]

Never saw the pdf you referred to!

[@lornathompson3811]

Hi, I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, on your PDF file, on the tab sheet music some of the numbers are circled. Why is that? I’m still new at reading music so I’m not sure if that means something

[@MandoMikeLessons]

Hi Lorna. Not a stupid question at all! The circles around the notes indicate a note is worth 2 beats (also called a 'minim' or a 'half note').
Every software writes Tab slightly differently, so this is not a universal truth, some put a cross above the note instead of the circle ..... but the software I use - GuitarPro - puts a circle around a note to indicate it last 2 beats.
Hope that helps?
