Bo Burnham - From God's Perspective (Guitar Cover)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Gressi
Tuning: Standard
Note : This is not a perfect adaption of Bo Burnham's piano version. I just thought
it was a nice idea, to write an alternative version for my fellow guitar players and
Bo Burnham fans.
Note : Even though it is only a cover (so it varies at some points regarding the melody)
it still helps to listen to Bo's original version to get the timing, because I didn't change
anything about the rhythm or the speed, and I also transcripted some of the patterns he plays
on the piano
