Please follow them carefully along with any tab provided for full instruction of how Gavin James has used

***Also Please Note: For sake of tidiness and so that chords would not oveerlap with the lyrics, I've
included the Chorus sections as a fingerstyle tab, similar in style to the intro.
You can still follow along with the chords that I've placed above the tab stave and the lyrics
I've provided below. Thank you.***
