Paper Planes tab by Street Sweeper Social Club

Tabs

As you must already know, this is a cover of the M.I.A. song "Paper Planes".
I've just noticed that the other tabs for this amazing cover have had the
 chorus a bit off... After reviewing the best HD video available for the
cover, I made some changes. You can look for yourself at this video -
