The main focus of this tablature is the main chords,
but a small effort has been made to give the reader a hint to how the
licks between chord changes are played. Any corrections, additions or
questions to this tab are welcomed in the comments section.

Capo on 1st fret. The tablature is written so that the frets are numbered
from where the capo is set. This means that in this tablature an open string is
written as a zero, even though the capo will actually be at the first fret.
