Sounds good but I think the chorus has |-10----------10----------12----------12----------| |----11----11----11----11----13----13----13----13-| |-------10----------10----------12----------12----| |-------------------------------------------------| The D chord shape slides up I think? I'm not sure but it sounds better that way to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nice tab though thanks for this!
