NOTE: This tab is for the version linked to the video above
      which is the short version of the song.

      The one that UG has at the bottom of the page is the
      longer version and not the one that I tabbed out.

      The main differences are that in the longer version
      the INTRO is played twice and at the end of my tab
      the CHORUS is played multiple times and using
      additional lyrics.

      This tab would also suit that version as well keeping
      This in mind.
