Tabbed by: Yosefxp
Tuning: Standard
Hi everyone,
Pretty simple tab as it's just three chords.
There are a lot of pulloffs in this song as the chords are played so just do them
how you feel.
They occur mainly on the A and D chords (Though I swear that I hear them on the Bm
too) and generally go..
D A
E|--2--3--2--| |--0--0--0--|
B|--3--3--3--| |--2--3--2--|
G|--2--2--2--| |--2--2--2--|
D|--0--0--0--| |--2--2--2--|
A|-----------| |--0--0--0--|
E|-----------| |-----------|
There is also often a little run up from A to Bm:
E|--0------2--|
B|--2------3--|
G|--2------4--|
D|--2------4--|
A|--0--0-1-2--|
E|------------|
