Tuning: Standard (EADG)
Can't seem to find any tabs for this song so thought I?d give it a go, it's my first tab
and it's tabbed by ear so apologies for any mistakes. Wasn't sure whether to put it as
beginner or intermediate but it doesn't really matter.

That's the tab and the alternate bridge. I can't personally find any mistakes but if you
do let me know and I will make corrections if you're right. This is my first tab so if
I've completely ballsed it up I do apologise, hope this helps!
