------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: JessDjMusic6 E-mail: [email protected] For this song i typed it in the order of how the song goes. I did this by ear. It doesn't involve a capo. I hope this tab makes any sense. To make life a bit easier listen to the song whilst going through the tab. It will make sense. I promise.
