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 close to being 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 it's in...


These are the chords for the verse... and the chord names are in relation to the open D tuning.
(Pick the bass notes of each chord on the chorus)
The strum pattern for the verse and the chorus is just d d u d u.
