The verse 1 is not tabbed out as played but those are definitely the chords that are
it is mostly improvised so donÂ’t worry but as a simple guideline for picking the chords,
with picking the lower notes then move on to the higher ones.

Have fun with that tab, it was surprisingly easy to tab, I was thinking that would be
at my computer but literally was about 20mins! Have fun and please rate and leave comments.
