This is my first tab so I thought I'd just outline the chords used.
Most of the song is fingerpicked/plucked and is quite simple to
gauge from the video/audio.

The only real complication in this song is the 'on and offs'
with the intro meleody that is repeated throughout (A - E A - E F#m - G#m A)
but that shouldn't be too difficult after a few attempts
and honestly, is tonnes of fun.

Hopefully it's up to the standard for most, as I said, this is my first post.
I just thought it was a beautiful unreleased track by an incredible man
and worthwhile writing up/sharing the song/chords.

Best Regards,

Enjoy.

Doin' so much just to watch someone bleed

Any child left inside of me

 Nothin' above us and nothin' below
Bm F#m         D

If there is no heaven and there is no soul
