Great tab!

Holy frick that muted strumming is awesome on this.

I got help from my dad with the strumming pattern and I don't think has ever heard the sing but he got it within listening to 12 seconds of the song. for all chords you hit the E string separately to the rest of the strings. Hopefully this helps everyone!
