This is my first ever tab as I learned this song by ear and was frustrated with the other tab versions
available. I don't know all the chord names so these labels aren't accurate (just follow my diagrams
below).
This is a great song - it took me about an hour to figure out, but its best to tune to Drop D and play
along.
Tuning is in Drop D (DADGBE)
