Rant: I have been playing for a long time, but this is my first time submitting a
TAB. I just couldn't let a song this good be so very very poorly interpreted (as
with the other versions of the TABs for this song... I mean do you know how much
work it is to tune you whole guitar down a half step? There is a reason they
invented the Capo!
NOTE: This song has a really fun moving bass line which I write out using the
actual chord notation ( e: E/Am). When you see this type of notation you insert
the note on the left of the slash (in this case 'E') into the lowest position of
the chord indicated to the right of the slash (in this case Am).
Standard Tuning - - - Capo 2
