i absolutely adore this song , so i felt it necessary to attempt a tab for
this song , and with chords for people like myself who find it easier to play and
sing using chords . i hope i’ve done a decent job . please pay attention to the
chord tab , i know it’s easy to play the shapes as if you were in standard but bear
in mind you are in drop D .
