Several versions of this banger out there but I have some stuff to add. If you are like
me, you will use a combination of live videos and other peoples tab to try and hack out a song. Here is my
take to add to that.
With up to three guitars going at once, I am not going to try and break them down individually but will
pull together the main bits of all
Nor am not going to tab out the whole song but instead will give some sections to play with.
[Intro]
Go check out the excellent Lesson by Marty music on Youtube. I found you can just about combine the first two
of the three parts, if you like a fingering challenge. The third part ... find a friend!

Let the notes on the high E ring out. Alternatively, your brain might prefer this fingering ...

[Verse 1]
Try this. Don't be afraid to let the high two strings ring out a bit on some of the chords.

Again, my take on the chords here. Note that you can play several interesting chords on the lower strings and
let the open strings ring out. Down strokes are your friend

If anyone wants me to convert this to chord shapes let me know in the comments.
