Hey thanks for checking out the tab! I tried to put as much detail and options in it as
I could. I feel pretty
confident that it is nearly perfect though I'm sure there may be some mistakes.
Helpful Hints:
I highly suggest playing all of these chords as bar chords and including lots of string
muting in the verses.
The chords I have put in parenthesis are just passing tones that you can play if you
want to, but they are not
completely necessary. There are a few syncopated rhythms that make IFD awesome that I
attempted to write out
the counts for. If you can't understand what I did I suggest listening to the song and
copying it. (That's what
I did and it was far easier to figure out then dictating it).
Fun Fact:
This song modulates from E to F every time it goes into a chorus and I just thought that
was pretty neat :D
