This is my first tab ever so please be a little considerate! I like all
kinds of advice and edits, so please tell me if I did something wrong! If it

it sounds good to me. Give it a rate and here we go...

That's all I got, hope you enjoyed! For a little easier method of playing the
verses, I suggest just playing power chords like so, you get the same feel,
