Chords

Notes: This song was a bit hard to figure out, but it's just so beautiful and I really wanted to tab it! I saw other tabs on the net that were completely wrong (in standard tuning) I think it's easy to understand that the guitars are tuned down half-a-step. The most difficult part to figure out was the intro/verse where I'm not really sure what he plays, but I think that my version sound more or less right. there are some chords that I play in different ways so I'll write it down here and you'll decide what you prefer: G#m (466444) I usually play this chord on the chorus like this (x44200). I just think it sounds better F# (244322) In the chorus I usually prefer play this (F5: 244xxx) and you can even alternate the F#/A# with this (x14322) or (2143xx) I had some problem figuring out the middle part riff, the 3rd chord is a bit hard to do, but I didn't know how to do it, so if you find something easier just let everyone know...
