After reviewing the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePpnjVrSOdE [Link provided by
Thenowandzen 21] and some heated debate [see comments below on Ultimate Guitar], I have come to
believe that the chords I had initially chosen were not 100% accurate. I believe that they are now
closer to 100%, subject to everyone's scrutiny...
Corrections are welcomed and encouraged as they make us better players, but
offer those corrections with kindness rather than acidity. These tabs can be very personal to the
contributor and insensitive corrections might get taken personally.
I want to thank Thenowandzen 21 for their contribution [Version 3] which is not 100% correct either
but is also excellent, in my opinion, and was the inspiration for my own contribution. Maybe I went
about it wrongly by not providing my corrections to their tab on their tab page, but this is my first
contribution [as it was theirs...] and there is no guarantee that the corrections will be made.
There's also no guarantee that my corrections would be correct, so you can see the problem...
At any rate, I chose to republish the tab with my corrections made and called it my own.
Did I copy theirs?
Probably... "Select All", "CTRL-C", "CTRL-V" is a pretty simple solution to a whole lot of
unnecessary re-typing, but it would have looked identical either way due to song structure,
chord selection and use of the Courier font. I chose the path of least resistance and saved an
hour of re-typing, only to be followed by hours of my own listening and chord changing.
Hopefully Zen can forgive my "efficiency" [laziness] in getting the best possible tab I can out to
you, the UG Community.
And for anyone wanting to contribute, this is a good, long read:
