This is a bass-led tune so play the notes on the E and A string loud
and clear. Most of the chords are very short and dampened down-strokes
(d), but a few are allowed to ring for one beat and are played as fast
upstrokes (u).
This rhythm is quite complex, so play it 'squarer' during the choruses
if you prefer. Also, if your voice can take it, capo up a few frets
for a better reggae sound.
Strum pattern:

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CRIMES AGAINST MUSIC tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
