This is my first tab and I'm sure it's accurate however, feel free
to use as a rough guide. Any section can be
picked at your leisure.
There are 3 basic sections to the song excluding the outro
(which I tabbed a little shady I know). I've
named them verse, pre-chorus and chorus.
Some of the metre and timing in this song
is strange but I'm sure you just need to listen to it for rhythm and changes. Good Luck!
