okay , so this is my first tab , hope you like it! i got sick of getting crap for
this song so i decided to make my own!
its easy to play , hard to expalin .
okay so just do wht i say and hopefully it works .
if you have any q’s just shoot me an email at aldykstra55@gmail . com

standard tuning : eadgbe

chords : C x ( see chord of that name below ) y ( see below ) Am F G estring ( see below )

oaky , as for how to play it ,
every time you play one of the chords you need to hit one of the strings i tell you too ,
then two downstrokes , then next chord .
listen to the song to get an idea of what im saying .
here is the strings you need to hit :

C = a string
F = E string
G = E string
Am = a string

its pretty easy! okay , x and y are names i always give to chords i dont have A
clue what they are . anyway , this is what they are :

x = | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
| – – – – – 1 – – 1 – – – – – – – |
