I apologise for the formatting of the tablature on here, Ultimate-Guitar
always have that messed up. I hope you can make sense of it!
This is quite a technical song in terms of hammers and pull offs,
so I'm going to do my best to simplify it, so that you can play it
and enjoy it rather than splitting hairs over the minutiae of technicality.
In the into, I will show the pattern that is played through the song.
However, in the verses, I will just mark the lyrics with the chords.
This way you can either choose to play the chord, or the picked pattern which it denotes.
Lastly, every time an Em is shown, it would be ideal if you walked
the bass up from the root G note, to F#, then leave it open for then Em.
