On the back of a hurricane

Sounds pretty good, much easier version tuned +1

Drax

So I do a down down up up down pattern and instead of going back up when I see the G to Am, I go down twice. This basically applies to the most of the song. I find the song easiest to play on 1+. Also at that part when it says you can dip your feet- ?, I believe the rest of the line was in it. The entire line would be you can d up your feet in it. I hope someone finds this helpful.
