Sorry, that's all I could get from an acoustic.
If you have any corrections PLEASE TELL ME!!! I would like to know how to play the parts I don't know.

*If you are having trouble with the chorus, listen to it and read the tabs as you are playing with it to understand the rhythms.

Feel free to e-mail me with questions, comments, blah blah blah...
