Just created this guide but it’s not completed yet; only the intro is done. I have to
find time off my studies to complete it. Meanwhile just enjoy the intro :P

Song is finally done! Enjoy!

Added YouTube video link because I realised my tabs on Ultimate Guitar were 
getting more views than my own Payphone cover!


READ FIRST!! ---> It was national day on the 9th of August and I was free so I decided
to make this tab. You'll have to have some intuition when playing because the 
thing about tabs is that
it’s not possible to write the exact timings of each note. I've tested the whole song 
already so if parts of the song sound weird, it’s probably because you're playing too
slowly. Try to let the notes ring (leave your fingers on the notes and try not to let 
go) because that’s the way I play it. Feedback and corrections are always welcome :D

Here's the link to the Payphone cover I made using this arrangement. Feel free to 
watch it and use it as a guide.
