https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aZdSSCP8xM
This is my first tab so I thought I'd just outline the chords used.
Most of the song is fingerpicked/plucked and is quite simple to 
gauge from the video/audio.
The only real complication in this song is the 'on and offs' 
with the intro meleody that is repeated throughout (A - E A - E F#m - G#m A)
but that shouldn't be too difficult after a few attempts 
and honestly, is tonnes of fun.
Hopefully it's up to the standard for most, as I said, this is my first post. 
I just thought it was a beautiful unreleased track by an incredible man 
and worthwhile writing up/sharing the song/chords. 
Best Regards,
Elijah Solomon Olig
Enjoy.
