Tuning: Standard: eBGDAE
Don’t complain if you think its crappy go do a better tab if you dislike mine. This took
while to do and I welcome all suggestions. It’ll take some time to get the transitions
chord to chord with the right positions and with the time right. Have fun with this
song. I know this isn’t how he played it but it sounds pretty good.
