One For The Radio

• A

Hey, this is how i play one for the radio by McFly  
its very similar to other ones but this is my  
interpretation of it and in tab form.  
You'll have to work out the timings aswell but  
its easy! :) hope its not too bad and you can read it.  
Im not great at tabbing so here goes:
