*First Tab :D *Tabbed by David Bond ([email protected]) Hey there UG Community! This song has been an old favourite of mine for quite some time now and I could not find a tabbed version of it ANYWHERE and the one I did find was incredibly off, so with a couple seconds of ear work I was baffled no one else had done this sooner haha This songs uses an Eb chord, which can be played in standard tuning if you just play the barred version on the 7th fret of the A string. I will include both the standard and half step versions of the song. If you have any comments about the tab, feel free to email me at [email protected] or comment on the tab below. Enjoy the music! :) P.S. Haven't figured out the chords for the 'Outro' yet, and I am very busy with school, but when I find the time I promise to update!
