tab is from that video. I did make one or two minor corrections to the chorus
based on how the version of the song I have sounds. If anything I wrote seems

---------------------------------
How it's strummed:
Pluck the base note of the chord, then strum with the back of your fingers, ending
high E string at all during the song.
