Tuning: Half step down
This tab is based off of the video link directly above. If the link no longer works then
try listening to the version off of Faith (When I Let You Down) EP, although my time
stamps will be off. There is a good amount of palm muting in this song but instead of
tabbing it out it's easier if you just listen to it.
\ = Slide Down, X = Mute

A note on the outro, in the video he does an embellishment during the A minor on the 2nd
string 2nd fret. I don't like the way it sounds so I didn't include it.
