Right I know it looks a tad messy but I’ve included everything in there
both guitar parts all round, so you just need to piece it together and
understand how I’ve done it, the timings not right and havn’;t included
everynote like for the bridge but just keeps playing over and over but
listen to the song and you’ll agree this is a pretty accurate tab!! So
enjoy and rate please
