E|
R| Only play full 'Ds2' chord as the opening chord. Repeat measures 3 and 4 for
.| the rest of the song for all 'INTRO', 'VERSE', 'CHORUS', and 'CODA' sections.
C| There are only 2 differences from this TAB in a few places in the song:
O| 'CHORUS' 1, 2 & 3, Measures 7 & 8; and the very last chord is a 'D7'.
M|
-| 'd' = Down Stroke / 'u' = Up Stroke / 'p' = Pull Off
T|
A| NOTE: On the '+' beat between counts 2 and 3 in the 2nd and 4th measures,
B| you can play the 'e' note on EITHER the preferred low 'E' string (e0),
N| or on the 'D' string (d2) if it's easier for you.
