I decided for myself the best way to play this song was to drop D. I know,
I know, some of you pro's are looking at me saying, why would you do that
in this song when it's clearly in E, well I'll tell you. I've been playing
guitar for the most part of my life, and my ears told me this song needed
a few spots where the song actually went a little lower so it could get a
nice harder deeper sound. Follow along, you'll see what I mean.

I tried to make the tab as clean as possible. I know how you guys hate 
ugly tab'ed out tabs!
