I compiled this tab from various sources, I started with Mickey Campbell's tab, made corrections to the
chords and picking patterns, fixed the structure, and found some small variations from live recordings of the
song. Huge credit to Mickey Cambell, without their tab I wouldn't have been able to make this.
The time signature of this song is a bit tricky - for most the song it's 4/8 but it briefly changes to 3/8
during the Bm transition, after that it goes back to 4/8.
Here's the first few bars of the verse if you were to count aloud with the song:
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

This variation is usually played at the very end of the song, as seen here: https://youtu.be/NW8bYybUQQM?t=179
