This song hasn't been released yet, though it's one of my favourite RAGC songs. There
a few versions out there on YouTube, some with different lyrics. The version I tabbed can
found here:

I'm not sure about all the lyrics, but I think the music is generally right.
Up to the first chorus, Andy plays barre chords, then he switches to normal chords for
rest of the song, with the exception of the Bm and C when he sings the title line - I
the Bm is a barre chord and the C is a power chord
Figure out the strumming pattern yourself. I think he usually strums each chord 8 times
each time I've noted it down, though there are a couple of exceptions.
