Notes:
1) C6 Tuning (G C E A)
2) No Capo Required
3) Make sure to let the Open G String Ring out on each chord strum
during the Chorus (and where indicated in the Verse and Intro)
4) The Intro is essentially 24 bars long but I shortened it to 16 and
tabbed out variations you can use in your own performance
