Chords with lyrics
This is the acoustic version that was played at Pickathon. Check it out here video.
NOTE: This is the tab for Ty's part. He plays it on a 12-string but it still sounds good on a 6-string
Tuning is in standard, but tuned 2 half-steps down (or 1 full step)
The song speeds up during the fill, just Listen to the song to figure out the timing. Enjoy!
