Chords:
   A X 0 3 3 3 0   D(b) X 5 7 7 7 5   D/C#  x 4 0 2 3 2   E 0 2 2 1 0 0
   D X X 0 2 3 2     Eb X 6 8 8 8 6   D/C   x 3 0 2 3 2
   C 3 3 2 0 1 0   E(b) X 7 9 9 9 7   D/B   x 2 0 2 3 2

On the chords the (b) = barred

On the bridge part strum the chord 2x then mute 2x again then mute,
and what i mean by mute is take ur palm and lay across the strings,
that's why i labeled the chord more than once.
In my first version I forgot to add something towards the end before the last bridge,
but I put it in the 2nd to last chorus.
b = bend
~ = vibrato
\ = slide down
p = pull
