Tuning:EADG
It's not perfect, but nobody has put this up anywhere else. Listen to the song to
figure out the timing on the intro as I don't have it quite perfect.
IMPORTANT: I do not mean fret eleven when I use 11 in the tab. This is just
signifying that the notes are played close together.
-ENJOY!
