When I went to tab this (no one else had) I was surprised how
Simple it was.
During the verse the guitar is kinda doing a lead fill
But its barely audible.
Weird intro sounds canÂ’t be done.
Kick in and verse: (4 times)e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|G|---7-----7-----5-----5-------------------------------------------|D|---7-----7-----5-----5-------------------------------------------|A|-5-5---5-5---3-3---3-3-------------------------------------------|E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
