Tuning: Drop C (CGCFAD) - The bottom half of this page has the song transposed to Drop D, so you 
                          only have to tune down one string! However, they play an open C power 
                          chord in this song, so in Drop D just play the C chord an octave up (x355xx). 

Guitar 1 - Whakaio Taahi 
Guitar 2 - Jake Hardy 

Not too many guitar parts here going on, so it should be pretty straightforward. Great song too, 
although I admit it's a grower. Enjoy!

Note - you can strum the above octave chords double the amount of times 
they're written, it's hard to hear which way it's done exactly
