Hello! This is my first tab. I am merely combining what I've learned from videos and the
(limited) tabs across the internet, into a simple chord sheet for people to get the
jist of the song. To figure out the rhythm, listen to the song. Hope you enjoy!
(Side Note: When I play, I use B5, C#5, D#5, E5 Whether you use these or not is up to
you. I feel it sounds better "my" way)
(All chords are relevant to the capo)
This:
e|---0-------0-------0-------0---|
B|-----0-------0-------0-------0-|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-2-----2/4-----4/6-----6/1-----|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|
