Tabbed by: leafmeal
Meter: 4/4
Key: C
This is the rhythm guitar part. The other tab is very close, but the song is
capoed on the 5th fret. Technically, there are two guitars playing this part,
but one does the sound close enough.
Also, the chords are kind of loose. For example, the Emadd9 and Em at the
beginning of the verse could be played as just an Em or even with an Em7.
A hammer-on on the A string at the start of the song sounds good. Follow your
ear. If you don't have an ear, these chords are close enough.
At the bottom I put just the chords with measure lines to clarify the timing
*NOTE* a vertical line means a new measure (a new count of four)
