Yeah I couldn't find any correct tabs on this song so I thought I'd let you in on an easy
way to play this song. Let me know if you have any questions or any praises. This is my
first tab I've done on my own so I hope my ears don't decieve any of you. Enjoy!

dropped-D to make it easier for us all!)
