Goo Goo Dolls is an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York, USA by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac initially under the name the Sex Maggots (the new name was chosen from an ad in True Detective magazine at the behest of a local club owner). They are most famous for the hit "Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals) and Robby Takac (vocals, bass).

Hey guys this is my first attempt at tabbing out a song and I decided to pick out one of my favorites... I know that there are a ton of other tabs telling you how to play this amazing song, but none of them are anywhere close to being played in standard and the ones that are don't sound right to me. So this is my attempt at tabbing out this song, and I think I got pretty close for for the tuning its in...
Here's a video of my playing and singing it if that helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHoFenhekTs
