NOTES: I was sick and tired of seeing versions of this song that were so wrong
it almost seems like the people tabbing it out weren't evening listening
to it. I hope you find this tab a little more useful.
Intro
Clean tuning
e----------------------|
B----------------------| You'll have to figure out
G----------------------| the strumming. It's
D--7-------11--------9-| fairly simple.

End Intro
Pre-Chorus (0:40)
e----------------------------| You have a little
B----------------------------| freedom here. Just
G----------------------------| listen to the song
D--7--xxx--7--xxx--7-xxx--7--| for the combination
A--0--xxx--0--xxx--0-xxx--0--| of strumming that
D--0--xxx--0--xxx--0-xxx--0--| sounds good to you.
End Pre-Chorus
Chorus (0:45)

Well, that's the whole song. I hope I explained everything clearly enough.
It's not incredibly hard to play. There's a few tricky parts, but just listen
to the song and you'll get it. If anybody has any comments, questions, problems,
complaints, corrections or otherwise please feel free to e-mail me at the address
above.
