I saw this song live and this is how he played it then. I know its pretty
simple, but this is how he did it.
As of when this I tabbed this out,the lyrics are not on the internet
so there may be some mistakes. I did my best but there are some
spots where I have no clue what he says, mainly in last chorus. Once
official (or better) lyrics come out, I will make corrections as needed.
Furthermore, he does some hammer-ons and pull-offs on the high E string on
the D chord. I didnt add those in, so just do them as you see fit.
