The Whitest Boy Alive - Golden cage

The key to this song is knowing when to strike the chords. Keep in mind that some chords are played lightly and others a little more emphatically. This tab is my variation of a tab I found here. It sounds like all the chords are correct, but feel free to make your own variations and provide any feedback. Enjoy!
