I, like many other people my age from England, first heard this song thanks to the one and only DJ Sammy. A catchy euro-pop number that has the same undeniable mega chorus from the original Don Henley version. I later heard the original while playing GTA: Vice City. Let’s learn to play it on a ukulele.

The main riff that’s running throughout the song is actually so simple. So I have included the guitar licks that accompany it. I am subtly playing the main riff in-between but you don’t have too to do that.
