Tuning: E B E G# B E
First things first, this is not an exact tab of what Jeff plays. I will not write out the strumming, just
the moving parts and the fingerings. The basis is just a smooth sound with constant strumming, the
low D is droned for a majority of the song, a lot of the song is just ad libbed notes so I apologize
for this chaotic tab. Feel free to play around with the chords and instrumental breaks, enjoy!
