tabbed by : wil – man – 101 on ultimate guitar

sorry about this , but i’m using a bit of my own homebrew notation on this chord
chart . each dash in a line of chords represents a bar ( E . G . C – – E – Am – F – F7 – G – – is 8
bars total ) where there aren’t dashes , the chords are played for less than a bar
( E . G . F A# C F at the very end ) .

please feel free to improve what i have here and make your own version!
