Hey guys, this is something different, I've made my own version of Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, making it a way more interesting song. Basically I've added the vocals and percussion to the original chords changing some things here and there.
Capo 2nd fret (I like to play it a bit higher on the fretboard)
You play the upper part twice and the second time you make a brief pause at the note I put an exclamation mark behind (7!)
After that the chorus starts where percussion is added. I will make an attempt to put this in tabs. The percussion is the row of x's on which you do a very short slap with either your entire hand or by using your thumb to knock the string against the fretboard, up to you!
I make a lot of variation my own personal cover. I'm intentionally not tabbing those because in my opinion it's way more fun to think of your own, they can be very simple adjustments such as a hammer-on somewhere, a pull of somewhere or a minor change in the end melody. Furthermore I added a bridge that I composed myself, I'm not tabbing that either for the same reason.

I made some simple changes to calum's earlier post to add lyrics to the tabs at the approximate timing.
