Hi there! This was a request and the hardest one ever!!
But I struggled through and I think I got it!! May need
some tweeking here or there, let me know:) Tabbed to this
version-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fy6YxPM98U
*The intro (Em7) is just a continuous strumming of the open
E string of the Em7. When you go to the G on 'shelf' it's
still muted but strumming the low strings EAD only and
continue that strumming until the pre chorus. There are some
very quick chord changes so play along with the song to get
it down.
