This is a tricky one as far as finding the rhythm, but I laid out the whole notes on the tick marks so try to
align it to that.  This song's verse is built on the same backbone as Day Glow Fire's (which is an excellent
bassline!), so refer to the tab for that song as well in case it helps clear up the strumming rhythm.
 
Pick recommended!

This has been tough to piece together without live footage, I'm certain on the verse and prechorus here but am
open to edits in case I got the chorus wrong.  Cheers!
