Tabbed by: Nano511

I have created 2 versions of this tab. The first is based off a video of Vic playing the 
song live. The second is a version i created by ear. The second version could also be 
considered a more detailed version, as it splits up the lead and the rhythm.


*******TAB BASED OFF LIVE VIDEO****************************************


Tuning: Half a step down from EADGBe

Chords:
Asus2 => x02200
Ab/B  => 4x4400
A     => 577600
E     => 022100

Verse: Asus2 -> Ab/B
Chorus: A -> Ab/B
Bridge: E -> 0-2 -> Ab/B -> 7 -> A -> 4 -> E
        E -> Ab/B -> A -> E

The tab between the chords in the bridge are on the E string.




*************DETAILED TAB***************************************************

Strumming has not been tabbed because it would take up too
much space so please listen to the song to get the strumming
