What a song. Thank you for these amazing tabs. And before anyone asks - the strumming is DD, with a downstrum every second beat. I personally like to incorporate a slow tempo island strum on the solos, fits the song well. Also, E7 is porbably the better sounding chord for this song, but I still like to play E sometimes, just to practice that damned chord, which I still haven't quite mastered. This song is the perfect E chord practice. Cheers :)

This just sounds so beautiful. Personally i prefer to work with an E7 though rather than an E

E7 is the correct chord instead of E but aside from that nice job
