I did this tab because the other one is completely wrong. Im still trying to fix the
problems (mostly the chords in the chorus), and also figure out the picking in the
other than that, its correct. listen to the song to find out which chords are played on
octave, because that gets confusing. (pay attentions to the astricks ******)
good luck.

Maybe this poem

That never got refilled

Of formulaic verse anyway

And rhymes are not my forte
Em7
I have been trying
C D Em A
To get this haiku just right all night
Em A C
For you; alright I’m through
