This is a really simple song, I watched him play this live and I tabbed it from that,
some parts are simplified but they sound exactly the same as what he plays!! There are
2 guitar parts if you get a friend to play along it sounds just like the album. We have
also included the timing so you can sing along with it if you'd like. Im positive its 100% right!
Key:
h -Hammer On
p -Pull Off
/ -Slide Up
\ -Slide Down
~ -Vibrato
x -Mute String
T -Thumb (John uses that alot in his songs)
