for one person to play the song acoustically. Although the verses are picked, I added some chords for
those who would prefer to strum instead of pick. 
I also added an extra note in for most of the power chords just because I think it sounds better. 
I dont know if the chord names are right at all, but its mostly for ease throughout the tab.
