Hey! This is my second tab. (Yay!) Before you play the song, I just have to cover a few things.
You can strum the chords, but plucking sounds more like the song.
To Pluck:
For the Gm chord: Low E string, G string and B string at the same time two times.
Then pluck the B string, G string and D string at different times(in that order.)
For the Cadd9 chord: A string, G string and B string at the same time two times.
Then pluck the B string, G string and D string at different times(in that order.)
For the Em7 chord: The same as the Cadd9 chord.
For the D chord: B string, G string and D string at the same time two times. Then
pluck the B string, G string and D string at different times (in that order.)

Say you're sorry, that face of an angel

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around
Verse 2 (pluck):
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/taylor_swift/white_horse_crd_ver_7.html ]
