Since this song has been one of the HUGE powdefinger singles, I 
thought I had better fix up the tab a little. I know that Bernard 
uses some kind of C tuning, so I'll tab it for both the standard 
tuned guitar and the guitar tuned down to C. The C tuning I now 
use is CCCGCD

That's all the progressions in the song, just play along with the 
song to get the structure and strumming correct.
