wtf are you talking about bassrocker this is pretty much perfect

+14

2 Errors I noticed Chorus should be: G|------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------| A|----------55--3333-1111----33333333-| E|11---00----------------1111---------| Outro should be: G|-----------| D|-----------| A|1111----3~-| E|----1111---|

bassrocker, if you think this is wrong, then upload a tab that you think is right. Rather than just critisizing other people's work?
