If you need help, or just want to see how this tab is played,




Intro

You can play it as an octave, but you don’t really have to.
If you’re having trouble with the rhythm, or when to play the muted strings, just 
Think about it as filling in the gaps between the notes with the muted string hits.

D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--7xx7xx------7xx7-7xx-----------------------------------------------------|
E|---------9p7x----------7h9-7h9---------------------------------------------|

Verse

Play each note to the same rhythm like the intro.
Each part represents a 4/4 bar. It’s pretty easy to figure it out.
If you’re having trouble, refer to the video.

!  = you play this note once at the very end before you move on to the next note
