This song is the artist's own work!!!

This tab is the work of David Spirito!!
You can copy it and put it anywhere as long as you credit me.
It was hard work I deserve it.

**Capo on  3 0r 4***
if you dont have one get one
or just play it regular its such a good song it doesn't matter.
or you can tune up somehow u figure it out.

**all numbers relative***

~h~=hammer on
() it is optional
ring means let note ring... obviously

~~~my first tab~~~ pretty good I think

the timing is= down..down.downupdown.down.downup. repeat throughout.
listen carefully.

e--------3-----3------3---3-----3--3--3-3---------------------------
---------d-----d-----*d---u-----d--d-*d-u---------------------------
i almost never press the a string because i think it sounds much better if you
hit the bass twice as hard as the treble as you strum and it sounds good if u
emphasize it.

---------d-----d----*d---u-----d----d-*d--u--------
*the down up and the down up down at the end are quick...
theres the timing.. and so on. elaborate..
I sneak my thumb in for the bass notes. So does howie, were so alike in our
style,
i think Johnny M does too.
many people do. u should too.

instead you can just play the D chord with your thumb on the
top string second fret*** if u wanna. i switch it up

e------------0------0--0-------0--0-0------------------------------- or 3
b------------0------0--0-------0--0-0------------------------------- or 3
g------------0------0--0-------0--0-0-------------------------------
d------2-----2------2--2----2--2--2-2-------------------------------
a------2-----2------2--2----2--2--2-2-------------------------------
e------0-----0------0--0----0--0--0-0-------------------------------
-------d-----d-----*d--u----d--d-*d-u-------------------------------

i switch it up depending on if i feel like it i think it rings
good either way the way in the tab is just my way.

* tip   mute e string with your thumb also.
this is down..down..downup.down.hammer on the one part then let go
of it  then end on upstroke or down whichever

goes with lyrics around, i've lost my way, close behind.
