Bob Marley - Redempition Song

first tab i have done , most of the tabs i have seen on here are pretty
accurate but i addEd some tweaks of my own in the song , removed G/B for
beginners purpose and also addEd the guitar slides as heard on the bob
marley original version of the song . also for more ring replace G with
extended G by fretting the 3rd fret on the B string while keeping the
same chord structure as standard G .

unlike most of bob marley’s songs this song uses a more standard strum
pattern instead of the reggae strum , so this song is perfect if your
just learning guitar and like decent music .
