Tabbed by: BASSteve

Time signature: 4/4
 
*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
durations.

Good tab, liked the way you tabbed it, very clear, only next time could you do us a favor and include the lyrics for a bit of guidance? Maybe the timings too? it really helps Good tab though :)
How is this only rated with 3 stars? it's how it's supposed to be tabbed. and all correct.
