If you're confused about something, have a question, or want to suggest a song for me to make
tabs for, just leave a comment or email me at mrrockstar16@gmail.com. Thanks!
There are two different ways to play the intro, so play whichever you like better, even though its
really just a one note difference, or you can just play chords instead. There really isn't a guitar
playing at the intro, it's just the piano (and a keyboard for the acoustic
version), but I like playing
it anyway.
Capo: 6th fret
Standard Tuning
Intro/Outro/Verses (tabs):
****The tabs are easier if you play it as a C chord****
E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------6-6-8-------------8-------8---|
A|---9-9-9-9-------9-9-9-6-9-6---6-9-6-----|
E|-----------------------------------------|
The other way to play it is instead of playing the two notes on the 6th fret on the D string, drop
your finger down that's on the 8th fret on the D string and play the 8th fret on the A string to
replace the notes on the 6th fret on D. So it would look like this:
E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|---------------8-------------8-------8---|
A|---9-9-9-9-8-8---9-9-9-6-9-6---6-9-6-----|
E|-----------------------------------------|
Also in the second verse, that last 8th fret played on the D string is replaced with the 6th fret on
the G string. So it would look like this:
E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------6---|
D|-----------6-6-8-------------8-----------|
A|---9-9-9-9-------9-9-9-6-9-6---6-9-6-----|
E|-----------------------------------------|
