Thank you sooo much!!!
Can you maybe upload your version somewhere? because it sounds better.

The original author asked to

Submitted by hslesperance on Thu, 08/03/2017 - 10:14.

The original author asked to have it (along with all their other tabs) removed from the site. Wasn't even sure if I should have posted it in these comments. But you can view it here at least.

Tuning Adjustment

Submitted by hammys on Wed, 05/09/2018 - 22:14.

I've adjusted this tab for Drop D tuning, Capo 3, since it sounds closer to the original.
It's more difficult, but definitely playable.
