Hey guys, right now I'm missing the clean solo and the final one, I'll get to it eventually...
For some parts I only wrote the chord used, not the strumming pattern so be sure to
listen to the song to identify these.
Any comments or corrections are more than welcome below on the comments section,
and please don?t forget to rate! Have fun with this amazing song!
Intro 
A augmentedA
Play with the rhythm a bit, not exactly this one but the chords are right.
