Tabbed by: Robbie Fogelsanger

Tuning: Standard
This is my first tab done by ear so listen to the song to get an idea for how it is
played. Some chords are strummed and others you can hear them being arpeggiated by a second
guitar. Have fun.
It can also be played with a Capo on 1st fret, play same chords just in their different
respective forms.
