A lot of this tab is copied from other tabs that have already been posted, but I some of the chords throughout the song and tabbed them more specifically/accurately. Hope this an improvement :) I divided it into sections, the chord progressions written out are repeated for the rest the lyrics that are posted within the section, then the song moves right along to the one. Not too complicated, I promise. Let me know what you think!
