this is one of my favorite songs, thank you to whoever requested it!
 
i play this with drop d powerchords (bar the three lowest strings) but any time the progression is
D C D F D C B Bb i switch to a-root powerchords because in the recording the notes are an octave up.
 
one last thing, the rhythms in the chorus are kind of hard to understand with just chords, so i tabbed it
