Tabbed by: Connor O.
There isn't any variation in the 2nd verse or chorus so I didn't tab those parts
out. Pat and Dan play a the beat at a rate of 140 bpm.
Comment or message any ideas or corrections. Please rate my tab. If you've got
problems with the tab, I'd encourage you to contact me with those problems so I
can fix the tab or provide advice for playing. Don't just give me a poor rating
and not give me any feedback. The idea is for us all to work together to create
a perfect finished product. This tab just represents the best I can do. It's
definitely up for peer review. PLEASE DON'T RATE THE TAB LESS THAN 5/5 UNLESS YOU
CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG.
