Chords

Only thing really missing is the percussive slaps he does on teh strings after the intro and a few other spots Want to credit Caleb as I used his tab as a starting point for mine. Chords may be wonky you can ignore them if need be. Open to feedback. And of course listen to the recording to get timing and rhythm for the song it's especially important here.
