Hi there!  This song is really good but very
tough to play -for me anyways!!  I used the tabbed 
version and chorded it out and it wasn't easy!  
***(Thanks T.M.A.L.- Go rate their tab, cause that's who 
figured these chords out! I just *tried* to place them
in the correct spot!)***
I have to cheat at least 3 out of 4 chords (I really 
should take lessons!)  So, here are the barre chords 
and the way I play them for those with weak fingers 
like mine that can't barre!
