-I was looking for a good HOPE version of this song and found there weren't any so I figured I'd give it a
go. This is my first tab, so please feel free to comment and critique! I added a verse from the COPE version
near the end because I quite like the lyrics and I feel like it gives the song a solid length. Playing with a
capo on the fourth fret will make it sound similar to the recorded version, although not identical as you
won't be playing the flats. I included what I think are the original chords in case you'd like to replace them
