****************************************************************************
I think this is a really fun song and have been looking for the tab everywhere, finally
down and figured it out myself. It may need some tweeking but it is very very close.
it works out for everyone.
****************************************************************************
Played in standard tuning and you will have to listen to it to get the struming down.
if you play around with the D chord a little bit I found it adds to the song.
