Tuning: Standard

This is pretty rough and anyone that wants to add to this, please do. I love this
arrangement and it needs to be done! There are 2 Guitars playing in this song. I’m not
much of
a finger picker so I can’t determine the finger picking of the backing guitar but I will
list the chords. Please help make this complete if you can. This tab is in no way
perfect but it will get you in the ballpark. This is also my first tab, so be easy on me PLEASE.
