This one's track no. 1 off the latest record "Devour".It gets pretty heavy in the 
last chorus but you can
still play it as an acoustic version as well.
Only the strumming changes for that last chorus. As for the Am Intro
(which is the same as the Am in the verse), you gotta find a variation if
you really want it to sound like the original(releasing the D string works for me).
If you have other suggestions or feedback, feel free to leave a comment :-)
