This tab took a while to figure out then write out- so please enjoy it!
I know it's not gonna be perfect, but I feel i came relatively close.
Also, I based this tab off a live performance... so reference it!
are relative to the capo by the way.
Final note- the whole song is finger-picked, which kinda seems necessary for the tone of
this song.
[Intro] Bass notes help it flow nicely. e|-12---12---11---11---7--7---9--9---7--7---5--5---5--5---4------| B|---0----0----0----0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0-----| G|----12--------10-------7------7------7------5------5------3----| D|---------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------| E|-0-------0-0-------0-0----0-0----0-0----0-0----0-0------0------| [Verse] e|-------0-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-2/4-0-----------------0--0------------0--0-----------0--5---------------7-| G|---------0-1-/3-0------1--0-1----------3--5-3-0-------5--5-5----------7--7-| D|------------------0----0--0---2--------0--0-----------0------5--------7----| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-0------------------2-2--2------2-2/4-4--4-----4-4/5-5--5------5-5/7-7--7--| e|--------------0-------------0---------------------------------------------0-| B|-----------0----0-----2/4-0----------------0--0------------0--0----------0--| G|-7---------8------------------0-1/3-0------1--0-1----------3--5-3-0-----4---| D|---7-------0------0-------------------0----0--0---2--------0--0--------0----| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------x-----| E|-----7-7/8---8------8-0-----------------2-2--2------2-2/4-4--4-----4-5------| [Chorus] This is the general idea, I can't say it's for sure note for note e|----0----------------0----------------0-------0-----------| B|-5-------10---9---7----7--12---9---2----2--1----1---------| G|--0---0----0---0---0----0---0---0---0----0--0----0--------| D|---0---0----0---0---0--------0---0---0-------0------------| A|-5-------10---9---7-------12---9---2-------1--------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------| e|----0----------------0----------------0-------0--------0---------0--| B|-5-------10---9---7----7--12---9---2----2--1----1-----0--0------0---| G|--0---0----0---0---0----0---0---0---0----0--0----0---7----7----4----| D|---0---0----0---0---0--------0---0---0-------0----------------0-----| A|-5-------10---9---7-------12---9---2-------1-----------------x------| E|---------------------------------------------------/7-------5-------| [Bridge] the 'let go' part. this is the only part he strums so listen for the pattern, and this is the only part I'm really unsure of (it starts at 2:27 btw)The first 2 chords should be right, but after that I'm wrong- oh well. e|-12--11--12--11------| B|-0---0---0---0-------| G|-12--10--12--10------| D|-0---0---0---0-------| A|-0---0---0---0-------| E|---------------------| This is my best guess which isn't very good lol e|-5--4--| B|-0--0--| G|-5--3--| repeated a lot D|-0--0--| A|-0--0--| E|-------|
After this he does the chorus once more, then intro to finish it.
Enjoy! and feel free to comment and rate.
