okay, so this is my first tab, hope you like it! i got sick of getting crap for 
this song so i decided to make my own! 
its easy to play, hard to expalin. 
okay so just do wht i say and hopefully it works.

standard tuning: EADGBe

chords: C X(see chord of that name below) Y (see below) Am F G Estring (see below) 

oaky, as for how to play it, 
every time you play one of the chords you need to hit one of the strings i tell you too, 
then two downstrokes, then next chord. 
listen to the song to get an idea of what im saying. 
here is the strings you need to hit:


C= A string
F= E string
G= E string
Am= A string


its pretty easy! okay, X and Y are names i always give to chords i dont have a 
clue what they are. anyway, this is what they are:


X= |----------------|
   |-----1--1-------|
   |-----0--0-------|

   |--2-------------|
   |----------------|     


Y= |----------------|  
   |-----1--1-------|
   |-----2--2-------|
   |----------------|
