I couldn't find this anywhere on the internet. This is my first tab but i'm pretty sure it's accurate. I'm not too sure about the Dm7 over "As he acts with more ..." so feel free to email me at [email protected] for any corrections I think he's actually tuned a half step down because it sounds like the bass note goes low for the Eb but I'm too lazy so it sounds good in standard too.
