hello! this is my first tab . i Am merely combining what i’ve learned from videos and the
( limited ) tabs across the internet , into a simple chord sheet for people to get the
jist of the song . to figure out the rhythm , listen to the song . hope you enjoy!

( side note : when i play , i use B5 , C#5 , D#5 , E5 . whether you use these or not is up to
you . i feel it sounds better “my” way )

capo 4 ( all chords are relevant to the capo )

this :

E | – – – 0 – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – 0 – – – |
