You can use different voicings for chords, or larger or smaller chords, but this is what works for me. I've written it to be played acoustically, but you can probably figure it out easily for full band. The chords might be a bit messy, as the song came out an hour and a half ago as I'm writing this, i just loved it so much i decided to learn it and tab it out. [Intro]

                  |-This part plays for a while-| i would recommend just improvising some stuff ontop maybe
                                                  or playing inversions
