This first track on Matt's album Earth is a definite ear catcher for the whole 
disk. Most of the rhythm guitar work in this song is heavily palm-muted. To 
get the rhythm down, I suggest listening to the song over about twenty 
times (that's how I got it). Use a power chord stucture on the rhythm chords 
with your finger barred to get the chord but produce a deeper sounding version.
The second guitar part is relativly understandable, and I was able to get some 
down, but not all (including the solo, sorry). Enjoy the days of the eighties 
again with this song (hard to believe that it was eight years ago)!

Standard Tuning(Low E, A, D, G, B, high E)

Verse
A#                     E#
She remembers how we met
G		       D#
Through a friend of ours
A#		E#
I took her for a ride and laid her
G 		     D#
Underneath the stars
A#		G#		    G		     E#
And even now it makes me laugh to think we wanted more
	      A#		       E#
And always talked about how hard it was
         G                     D#
When really it was so

Verse(same as above)

And ever since this stroke of luck
I was feeling fine
Sometimes even seemed this life
Might be a friend of mine
But all these notions disappeared as soon as she was gone
It was as hard as they had always said
Somehow we were so

Chorus(same as above)
Easy
We were so easy

SOLO
(rhythm plays the same chord config. as in the verse)

	     A#		      E#
We always talked about how hard it was
         G                    D#
When really it was so

(repeat the chorus section four times)
Easy
We were so easy
We were so easy
We were so easy.

Repeat the chords for the verse for the outro and end on a E#.
