Tabbed by: Mr. Moustache

Tuning: standard(capo on the 4th fret)
A good chunk of credit needs to go to cgregz for this tab, his guitar cover of this on
is the basis for this entire tab.
All of the chords here are relative to the capo 4th fret, they are simply the proper
positions, not the actual chord names.

*note* F#m(#5/#11) will be simply be called F#m(#5) as the full chord name is too long
line up with the lyrics.
Intro: This is all picked out, you'll have to figure that out on your own. Fairly simple
you know the song though. The A7/C# is actually played as A7 first then the extra note
added when you pick the chord again.
