Tuning: E A D G B E
This tablature is mostly dead-on with the studio recording. Verified by watching Wesley Schultz
perform the song in live video. I came up with the song structure naming, so it may not be correct,
but should be easy to follow. A lot of the strumming and timing will have to be determined by
listening to the song.
