Jack And Diane Tabs

(ver. 1)
John Cougar Mellencamp
 Tuning: Standard

 This is my first tab and I think this is pretty accurate.
 I've looked everywhere for a good tab for this song, But they
 where all pretty mixed up so this is the best i can do to
 translate it for all you looking for a decent tab of it.You'll
 need an electric and an acustic for both parts. If you have any
