This is my first tab, so it's almost certainly filled with mistakes. Actually to be honest,
I'm only seven years old and just found dad's laptop open on the coffee table. I started mashing
the keyboard with my palm and this is what came out. Neat eh! Anyway, good luck with it.
[Guitar]
(clean electric or acoustic)
(for the verse chords play a 16th note strum, using triads chords using just the b, g and d
strings. Start at the 7th fret.)

[Guitar 2]
(overdriven electric)
(G2 is always playing 5ths (just the top two or three strings of a minor shape barre chord,
muting everything else) so when you read B, play B5 etc. G1 is played pretty sparsely. Through
the verses it's all single chords - don't go all Mumford and Sons and start busily strumming!
