Just relax, get into that reaggae feeling, and enjoy this little song.
Nice & not as easy to play as it seems at the beginning.

That's all really... add some small variations if you want :-) like
sometimes there's a slide downwards from the last note in a bar
(plain to hear, of course then you'll have to substitute "0" by "5"
on the string below) & suchlike. And, I think he's playing some
semiquaver notes in the last bar of that bridge, if anyone can tell
me what *exactly* it is I'd be grateful!
