Its in Eb so this is all right, but it need to be a semi tone up

This is a great tab, and very accurate at that, however the open notes may sound a little weird. The song is actually played tuned down a half step, so just play everything up a fret and the open notes should sound just fine. Happy playing everyone!

all the fingerings need to be 1 up unless you're playing in standard. It's easier to just play half step down
