This tab is moved up a tone from F to G to use easier open chords. If you want to match the original key,
transpose the tab down two steps back to F, or tune your guitar down a step to DGCFAD. You could also
transpose down three steps to E and then use a capo on the first fret, which again uses easier chords. Enjoy!
