Hey, I saw this amazing version on Youtube, but couldn't find any tabs so thought I

would try and tab it out myself..

I think it's fairly close, I'm just missing a few notes, mainly because I can't play

them quickly enough.

This is the Youtube version.. (which is far superior to my version)

Okay, so it's standard tuning, place the capo wherever sounds best for you. I normally

put it on the 3rd. Here's the Verse, Pre-Chorus and Chorus, and you can arrange it

yourself i guess. (Watch the video for help with fingerings, I always struggle with

using the thumb for the base 'F')
