I have created 2 versions of this tab. The first is based off a video of Vic playing the
song live. The second is a version i created by ear. The second version could also be
considered a more detailed version, as it splits up the lead and the rhythm.
*******TAB BASED OFF LIVE VIDEO****************************************
Tuning: Half a step down from EADGBe
Chords:
Asus2 => x02200
Ab/B => 4x4400
A => 577600
E => 022100
Verse: Asus2 -> Ab/B
Chorus: A -> Ab/B
Bridge: E -> 0-2 -> Ab/B -> 7 -> A -> 4 -> E
E -> Ab/B -> A -> E
The tab between the chords in the bridge are on the E string.
*************DETAILED TAB***************************************************
Strumming has not been tabbed because it would take up too
much space so please listen to the song to get the strumming

*Note that I combined the lead with the chords so one person could play it. Make sure to
listen to the song for the strumming. It is not literally 1 chord per beat but it would
take up too much space to write out the strumming
