So Big So Small tab by Dear Evan Hansen

Guitar Tab

"So Big / So Small" from the musical Dear Evan Hansen - Benj Pasek and Justin Paul

The only thing I'm unsure about is the bridge because it's hard to hear the guitar in the studio track.
Make sure to listen to the track for the timing. Enjoy!

Tuning: EADGBe
NO Capo
