The original of this song is done in Bb. I havn't looked at this tab in a long while so I'm a little
confused why I would tab it in these chords. I would normaly tab it to G chords. I checked it so rather than
re-do the entire song just know you need to capo to 3 and use the transpose feature to get in the original
with G shapes. I think someone came along who liked playing in C better and transposed my tab.
That was rude......
