Tuning: E A D G B E
This is what I have gathered from what people have created on youtube and other platforms,
just thought I should put something on here to make it easier.
There is another guitar section that Jonny plays during ths final chorus,
however I'm sorry to say that I haven't been able to identify it, I'm sure someone will in the future.
Anyways enjoy the song.
