A Thousand Years - Boyce Avenue
Tabbed By: Kingsley
Hey guys this as accurate as I can get the tabs.
I tabbed this song before Boyce Avenue released the video.
So basically this is all ear without knowing what he is actually doing.
I have shown an image of these tabs to Alejandro and he says its
VERY close to their tabs. So work with it :]

Just to correct something, in the 'Once step closer' part Alejandro plays exactly like this:
Am 2ºC Em 4ºChord
One step cloooooo-ser
2ºChord: [x04400]
4ºChord: [x54030]
(sorry but i don't know the chords names) But anyway, you did a great job :)

The bridge after the first verse there's
A small suggestion rather than correction.
