------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: [email protected] I've got two versions of this tab for you. They are not how the song is played on the album. Rather, I've tried to come up with something that is relatively easy and sounds good on one acoustic guitar. The first version is in Bm (original is in Cm) with a capo on the first fret. The second version, which you will find further below, is in Em in C standard tuning. Take your pick and enjoy.
