----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I know Shawn typically plays in Drop C, but this song happens to work easy as possible to play for all guitarists at any skill level. There's obviously not a lot of guitar in this song, so I've also included the lead synth line for kicks. Guitar 1 represents the electric guitar parts Guitar 2 will represent the synth lead
