As a guitar professional, I have to point out that while this transcription has the basic structure down, it lacks some important nuances that are crucial for truly capturing the feel of the song. If you're learning guitar, remember that sticking strictly to tab can hold you back from developing your ear for those subtleties in timing and phrasing that a song like this demands. I'd recommend listening closely to Brendan B. Brown's original version and try to emulate his dynamic playstyle rather than just the notes. It’s a good start, but for anyone serious about mastering their craft, dive deeper than the tabs and focus on how the song lives and breathes in performance.
