This is definitely not 100% accurate but it should help!
Links to where the song was learnt from:
1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfFHv7CplXc
2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SalqwHJwg6c&feature=related
If you see a G7 in the chorus then that can be played as an F5 as seen in the
first link when Drake Bell plays guitar in the chorus.
Corrections would be really helpful and appreciated!
The chords in brackets are optional - I play them just to make the song sound more
interesting but I don't think they do that in the original.
This will be updated when the studio version comes out when I can get a more
accurate tab out of the song.
