This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

INTRO

I'll leave the intro up to you. Here are the chords for convenience:

G C G C Dsus D

Then you can go into verse with a slide down from D and then:

 |----------------|

 |--------33333333|
 |----------------|

VERSE 1 (2x)

 |----------------|

 |----22----02----|
 |3333-----3------|

Now go straight to CHORUS

After 2nd CHORUS:

.|/7--9----7------|
 |----------------|

 |------00----54-0|.
 |----22----02----|.
 |3333-----3------| (2x)

Then back to BRIDGE (4X) then to CHORUS

That's just about all you need. All tabbed by ear, with some help of

knowing the chords. Here's the entire song order:

INTRO

VERSE 1 (2x)

BRIDGE

CHORUS

VERSE 2 (2x)

CHORUS

MIDSECTION

BRIDGE

CHORUS

And the end is basically the chorus repeated a few times. Hope this does some good!
