    This song isn't too difficult once you get a hang of the rhythm. For the song I included the major 
chord changes so that its simpler and looks nicer. But the additional little fills and other chords are 
included at the top here for a more accurate song. Looks harder than it is. Just takes time to learn! 
Not a 100% perfect tab, but it should get you a good idea!
