It's a very simple song based on 1st, 4th and 5th (C, F, G). It is repetitious and you could find it boring if you don't vary sincopation and occasionally hit double notes with your thumb on alternate notes. Listen to the CD if you want more details. I got this off Return of the Repressed Give it a bit of bounce and it's a great song to play.
