Tab By Ethan Clay
 
 
I tabbed from this version of the song:

It probably isn't perfect, I've done this by ear and by watching some of the videos of
them playing it live, it sounds pretty accurate though.
 
 
When I play it I normally kind of just make up my own strumming pattern for the
Pre-Chorus and the Outro...

Tab incomplete. Clearly wrong. The tab is incomplete and lacks not only the full song but the proper chords and correct notation based on the way the band plays the song.

-3

Tab incomplete. Clearly wrong. They have one basic part, and only one guitar. There are two in the song. Also, no attention paid to the chord progression or key.
