This is my first tab, and it is of the song "Try" by The xx! Enjoy!
If it helps in any way, the BPM of "Try" is 96 beats per minute.

CHORUS (0:41 - 1:21):
(The Chorus has multiple things going on at once.
The intro melody is being played at the same time in the background.
Listen to the original song to find out where things go.
It is too hard to explain through a tab, but it is easy to hear.
I will just inform you of the parts that are in the chorus.
You will have to find out where they go on your own... sorry, pal)
