Capo on 4th fret
	        Hello! This is my first tab. I am merely combining what I've learned from videos and the  
(limited) tabs across the internet, into a simple chord sheet for people to get the  
jist of the song. To figure out the rhythm, listen to the song. Hope you enjoy! 

(Side Note: When I play, I use B5, C#5, D#5, E5 Whether you use these or not is up to  
you. I feel it sounds better 'my' way) 

 (All chords are relevant to the capo)
