Hey everyone! I did a cover of this song a while back, so I transcribed the chords
riff right before the bridge as well. I made this version because I haven't really
seen any other tabs as of yet that use the same chords as Steve, and I wanted to help
out since a bunch of people asked for the chords I played during my cover. Enjoy!
