New Years Day Tab by Taylor Swift

New Years Day tab by Taylor Swift

Guitar Tab

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C

Difficulty: Novice

The verses are exact to the song but the chorus is just the
best I could do to arrange it nicely

"..." means I've omitted words so the lyrics line up a bit better

also the reason some is in all caps is so that both lines are distinguishable
in the part when she sings two overlapping sets of lyrics

if you have any suggestion to improve please say! otherwise, enjoy!
