FIRST, I would like to apologize for the poor timing of the chords. The formatting
changes after submission. I did my best. Just feel the flow of the song and you
will get the idea with minimal troubles.
All of the Capo 3 versions played poorly or were incorrect. I found the best way
is to tune a whole step down. This is a great song so I thought I'd do it justice
and create a more correct tab. Play the "F" without barring it. The bar creates
too many low tones and takes away from the full-ring sound.
The picking is quite complicated as he seems to change it from performance to
performance. His chords are complicated as well to play as he does but to play
general chords seen here makes it sound just fine. The song flows well with these
chords and is the closest I have been able to come to the correct music.
TUNING: WHOLE STEP DOWN
