This is how I play this song with only me and my acoustic guitar. Since that is how I usually play, alone and acoustic, I would like to present a tab that is easy and straightforward, and hopefully sounds great, for others who generally play alone and acoustic.

Mess around with it and it should sound pretty close to the song. Remember this is a transcription for ONE guitar. it sounds great on acoustic or electric, but if on an acoustic you really have to bend those strings. JIFIGZ
