Here you go...a real easy song..just uses 4 chords: Am C G and D. The strumming pattern is
simple as well...down down down up down up or just down, down down up if you want. Or you
could pick the notes if you want, it sounds cool either way.

This is how I play the song, so I think it's pretty accurate. :) It is my first tab, and 
is meant for beginners like me, so the guitar pros - go easy on me!

Capo 8 for original key of F minor.
