Standard Tuning
Capo 5 (all chords based on capo 5)
I've spent many hours trying to figure out both the words and the chords, so chances are there are several
errors!
C* denotes a walk-up (Bass note: A, B, then C on second the 5th string)
C walk down in the chorus = C, B, A, G then back to A on the 5th string
The first line of chords in every verse (G and Dsus/F#) is strummed.
Hope this helps out! Please help improve this tab!
