The Rocket Summer - Never Knew

      
 
 okay, so i tried to find a tab for this song...
 but i couldnt...
 so i wrote one.
 please bear in mind that its only as accurate as a
 piano tune transcribed for guitar can be. i did my
 best, and i think it plays quite nice on accoustic.
 this is also my first tab. enjoy!
 
 capo 1st fret.
 work out the timing yourself.
 its easy if you know the song.
