Credit goes to user epicblob for getting me going in the right direction for this tab.
This is based off the Table Three Media session acoustic video. 
Studio version has no capo and is a lot less busy with the chord changes.
Tuning is FACGCE (but if you're lazy or a beginner, you can play in standard and use regular open 
or barre chords - there's a performance on Youtube where Jake plays it that way).
I tried to include all the chord changes, but sometimes Jake will add an extra note to a chord, 
so it's possible I missed some. If there's anything that needs clarification, feel free to comment.
