I noticed there are no tabs for this song online but only chords. Playing chords
to this song doesn't do it justice. I am very confident in this tab. Listen to the
song for the timing… it is very important for this song. The tuning is a full step
down. Chords are not transposed but only refer to the fingering. Take your pick on
Am or Am7 as well as G or a full G. But there are parts where the Am seems to fit
better and as well with the full G, experiment with it. Lynch plays both
variations of both chords. I tried to follow the exact way lynch plays. Have fun
with it, it’s a great song.
Note* If this tab has random symbols and numbers throughout it it not my doing the
format seems to be messing up my tab
