Guitar Tab

Song: This Is It
Artist: Staind

This is my very first tab, so please don't be too hard on me if i
completely messed it up (although I'm pretty sure it's at least close).

This will sound a little off if you listen to the song, but this is only
guitar 1, because I was unable to figure out the verse for guitar 2.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me with the verse on
guitar 2 so I can finalize this tab.

It should also be noted that as of now there are no tabs of this song up
except for this one.
