Hey everyone. This is my first tab, and hopefully you like it.
It's relatively similar to the first version that was posted, I changed the Intro,
Chorus, Pre-Chorus, and Outro chords to essentially match the verses. If you're
like me, and have trouble singing in anything lower then Eb tuning then this version is for you.
I play with the Capo on the 1st or 3rd fret, but you can move that around wherever you want.
Tuning: Standard [EADGBe]
G (320033)
D (x00232)
A (x02200)
Cadd9 (x32033)

The intro/choruses/bridge are in a different key if you listen carefully. It'd also be nice if I could have some credit since you copied and pasted the majority of my version. Cheers.
