I used to play this in drop D tuning, however, drop C or C# sounds better. This song, especially the intro, is not 100% correct. I taught myself this and it is probably wrong in a few areas. I did not write every single strum, just the chord changes. If you love the song enough to learn it, you should be familiar with all of the strumming patterns. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these tabs. They are the first ones I have written.

I love The Wonder Years, and this song. I taught myself and I made mistakes.
