Guitar Tab

-Jeremy Swanson
This version allows for more of a bass-line if you're playing solo.
I tried to indicate fingerings above the staff.. 1 for thumb, 5 for
pinky. It was also tabbed as exact to the music as I could make it,
with slightly easier-to-play chord structures than the other version.
