Tabbed by Kris Borromeo 

I have two versions.. The first version is the way Dustin Kensrue sings live and tabbed himself on 
youtube. The second version is the key he recorded it in, not sure why he does two different versions, 
I'm guessing because live a lower key helps a lot. The chord placement on my tab does not line up with 
the way you sing it, you will have to figure that part out =
