[Guitar I: Luke Hemmings]
[Guitar II: Michael Clifford]
This is the same performance as the recording on the official live album.
*Guitar I/Luke is in standard tuning. Guitar II/Michael is in drop D.
***In the original performance, Luke has his guitar in Eb tuning.
I've transcribed Luke's part here so that you can play it in standard tuning,
but if you want to play it exactly the way he does,
tune everything down a half step and move the tab one fret up.
