We have an official Only One tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
OK. This is an amazing song and there is only one tab for it.
That tab is good, it's just confusing w/ the seven guitars
(3 of which are violins).  So I simplified that tab and changed
the intro so you don't have to stretch your fingers as much.

So much for simplifying it. You basically kept 90% of the parts and changed the intro to have your "own" tab.
