Hey! I got help with this from alienswithoutskeletonhats and cyanidefrnk (tumblr urls).
This is one of my favorite songs of all time and I wanted to do an as accurate as possible acoustic tab.
This is all from watching live acoustic performances of the song. There's some things Frank does, like
random slides, but it'd probably be easier to watch the videos to try and figure that out.
This may not be 100% accurate but it sounds really similar.
Any corrections, you can send me an ask on tumblr, at tragiciann.tumblr.com
