I haven't tried to note the strumming rhythms, because they're pretty variable, and mostly unimportant--just listen to the record--it's straight forward enough. (This song is played with two guitars, but I've tabbed the main parts for one. Some day, I'll tab out the other parts.) As for the lyrics: these are the best I could make them out. I didn't try to correlate the background vocals with the main lyrics in verse 2, just try to fit them in as you see fit. As usual, corrections are welcome.
