I recorded the entire song with guitar and bass parts on garageband yesterday and 
this sounded  right

Credit to the other people who tabbed this because I used some of their tab as the base for this,
but made some alterations to the bits I thought were wrong, like the chorus, the bridge 
and the bass part. Enjoy :)
