|-2-- *carry over to |-2------|-2-- if strummed.
|-2-- anacrusis |-2----2-|-2— (Just my opinion, do it
|-0-- |-0--3---|-0— however you like.)
|---- |--------|----
Note: I had two tabs for this song for this song and found that both had a few
errors in either the “verse” or the “Chorus” and some strange accompaniment that
just didn’t seem to flow with it. (These are not really a distinct “verse”
or “chorus” I’m just calling them that for explanation purposes). Anyway, I did my
best to re-tab it and remove the accompaniment and fix the errors. I’ve listened to
3 versions of the song and played through a few times to make sure everything
sounds right. (Every version changes it up a little. You can play either the verse,
or the chorus, or both multiple times and switch back and forth.)
OK. Here’s the order: (This seems to be the most common.)
INTRO (sorry not finished yet. Coming soon)
VERSE (2x)
CHORUS
TRANSITION CHORD
VERSE (1x or 2x)
CHORUS
ENDING
