I just found out about Matt Maeson and heard Beggar's song. I'm glad I found this on Ultimate Guitar and it sounds nice while playing along with the song. Great contribution!👍

I play a b instead of the a and I feel like it sounds a bit better but otherwise I love this tab. Great job!👍🏼 (Ps. I'm talking about playing in barchords cuz I can never find my capo lol)

Try capo 2
