I couldn't find any tabs for this amazing song, so I thought fuck it
I'll make my first tab.
It's got every little detail and I'd put money
on it being 100% correct.
It's split up into loads of tiny sections to
make it easier but its a really really easy tune anyway.
I haven't done the strumming patterns
but they are a piece of piss.
/ = slide up
h = hammer on
p = pull off

Outro
E|-------------------------|
B|-------------------------| There is some picking. Easy way

A|--3>>--5>>>--7>>>--3>>>--| into a bar chord you could get a nicer
