Rules, 2012
Standard tuning
So this is a pretty rough tab. I saw mention of this song on r/sandyalexg and figured I'd
give it a shot, but I am not at all convinced I have the voicings right. But it sounds at
least somewhat right and is something to sing along to. I largely tabbed this out by listening
to the acoustic version (shoutout Block) and using Chordify.

The picking pattern is something like this:
e|----------------------|
B|--x--------x----------|
G|----x---x----x---x----|
D|------x--------x------|
A|--x--------x----------|
E|----------------------|
Depending on the chord, hit the low E string instead of the A.
There are three progressions in the song. The acoustic and studio versions have some
differences as far structure so I'll make note of those.
Acoustic version: I II III II III then I II III
