Tabbed by: Jkrun03
This version is very similar to the studio one but is most identical to the link above. Please watch it to get
the feel for the song, and to see his finger placements.
The timing is meticulously spaced as follows:
"-" = 32nd of a beat
'--" = 16th note
"----" = 8th note, and so forth
When playing the intro and the other part that replicates it, it's easiest to play the G with finger 3 on
low E and finger 4 on high E so that finger 2 can play the hammer/pull on G.
In the video, he plays the song with a combination of a pick and strumming with his bottom 3 fingers. Use the
pick to play the moving parts, and play the strumming chords with your lower fingers. It takes some practice
but imparts a unique sound (he also may have a few more flourishments than I tabbed here, but most of them are
picking alternately up and down a chord to change it up, and I tried to tab the major ones).

*These are very fast hammer on's that initiate essentially on the 32nd beat before the downbeat and complete
on the downbeat/halfbeat. Listen to video to undestand what I mean. Even Affie doesn't play them the same
everytime.. Sometimes they come out as triplet hammer/on/off and sometimes clean.
Point is to land on the beat/half beat.
