This tab follows the lyrical melody - for chords, you can play around with the
Bb Ab F Eb and C power chords. I'm not as sure as the chord progression for the
verses but this melody should be correct.
Drop D.
I believe the song is in Db major, but you could probably get away with playing in C major.
