Lead ideas?

[amyjared]

Hey now,
I love playing this song on the acoustic as a solo piece. The chords are fun and they portray the song well. I play the intro and walk down from the g to the d for each verse, but what I'm looking for is a tab version of a simple (hah!) lead to play when doing it solo acoustic. Any ideas??

I've seen this around, it's something worth having a play around with... : Might not come out too well but here goes:

Shaggy, you ROCK! Many thanks for this! It's exactly what I was looking for. I will need to find a cutaway or play it on the electric to finger some of the stuff up the neck, but it looks great so far. Is there a sound version of it anywhere? Midi? The only reason I ask is that I get kind of lost playing it toward the middle and would love to hear what it is supposed to sound like. Again, thanks for the great lead line! -amyjared
