Tuning:Standard Capo 2nd fret (Chord Diagram at the bottom)

*Sorry for not having lyrics in the intro, it would have been tedious and you can play
at your own speed*

This is 100% but I have simplified it because James and I play it with slaps on the
strings and in the chorus there are some picked notes but mostly strummed are the intro 
so I
didn't bother and I hate it when people do this when I'm learning but once your in their 
shoes it takes very long and hey I learnt this by watching him a RTL2 Radio station
