Hey guys this is my first attempt at tabbing out a song and I decided to pick out 
one of my favorites... I know that there are a ton of other tabs telling you how 
to play this amazing song, but none of them are anywhere to be played in standard 
and the ones that are don't sound right to me.
So this is my attempt at tabbing out this song, and I think I got pretty close 
for for the tuning its in... Hope you enjoy! :)
