Tabbed by: Connor O.
Tuning: Standard

Almost the entire thing is played on double digit frets so I just took 1's out
for a cleaner looking tab.

Comment or message any ideas or corrections. Please rate my tab. If you've got
problems with the tab, I'd encourage you to contact me with those problems so I
can fix the tab or provide advice for playing. Don't just give me a poor rating
and not give me any feedback. The idea is for us all to work together to create
a perfect finished product. This tab just represents the best I can do. It's
definitely up for peer review.
