This is my first ever tab, so bear with me. It's probably not accurate but it's enough
everyone to work with and correct IMO. I've seen some people tab this in D#, whatever
is. Sounds more like half-step down. I'm tabbing the rhythm guitar because I haven't
the rhythm tabs for this yet. I've numbered each column because I don't know enough about
tabs to name em off e.g.(intro, chorus....)

Remember this is my first tab and I've never learned how to play by ear so this is a
try. Comment tell me how to improve.
