Hey, so im jeremy and I love this song! It has some wicked harmonies in the
Altogether its a great so.
Im pretty sure this is at least 95% right. The other tabs have the chording right
not the intro.
In the recording this part goes through the verse too. So if youre playing with
you can keep doing this, otherwise switch to the chords after the intro.
If you have any questions or corrections you can email them to me! Thejermyking@aol.com Thanks!
