First Tab Ever!! but trust me it sounds good. Standard Tuning, Capo 3rd When playing the first G of each verse, start at low E and go up the strings, and hammer-on the third fret up (from the capo) on the B string. When switching to C, hammer-on the same fret on the B string to make it sound good. Just listen to the song to get a feel for what it sounds like.
