Tuning: E A D G B E (standard)

Since the other tab versions of this song that were submitted are a bit 
simplified I thought I would tab this out accurately down to the detail.  
There by giving you the option on which way you'd rather play it. :)

In case you're just learning how to play I've included the chord pattern as 
well as finger positioning for your convenience.  For example below, with 
the Em (E minor) chord... you will use your 2nd(middle) and 3rd (ring finger) 
both on the 2nd fret leaving the other 4 strings open signified by a "0" 
meaning no fret contact.  Enjoy! :)

I've given you a pretty accurate count for the strum pattern.  But if you 
listen to the song a few times in a row you'll get it and can play along 
with it.  Or just do it your own way.  Have fun! :)
