CHORDS
(played through out lyrics as the changes are written. play the
rests by muting
the strings directly at the end of the note preceding the rest.
you might want to
cut the preceding note a little bit short)
(these probably don’t have to be played exactly correct,
or as they’re written, so as
long as you follow the changes it’ll probably be fine)

ALTERNATE CHORD TABLATURE
The following are three more ways you can play the chord
changes through out the song.
They are each a bit more simple than the version listed at the
beginning. In actuality
all four of these version are played at different points in the
song. I have not tabbed
out every place they occur in the song because of how much space
it would take up. You can
play any or all them because they match the song and don’t need
to be exact. Just hit the
changes on time.

ALSO
Throughout each verse and chorus the Dm at the end of each
line (between lyrics) can be
played either of these ways (not sure which is right, but I
like the second one better)-
