No tab in here has the solo, so i'll tab that out. Being a tab reader, i hate having to
between tabs, so ill put the rest in here too.
Standard Tuning (I play it tuned a step down because it works better with my voice)
On the D chord, i put the a string in parenthesis.
Because its hard to mute out, and it sounds
perfectly fine, you can play it if you want.
Technically you aren't supposed to, but it
the same.
