*This is my first tab, I've been wanting to play this song since it came out but no one made a tab for it
so I decided to learn this song by ear so this tab is not 100% correct, if you have any corrections let me know
or feel free to make your own version. I wanted to post this with more than enough time for people to learn this
by Christmas, so enjoy! Sorry for not including the acoustic part in the beginning.
