It's quite a difficult one, using barre chords throughout. I'm pretty sure that it could be played without, but then you'd have to lose the arpeggio effect that makes this song so great. Make sure that you tune your guitar flat before you start. If you find any parts of the song too difficult, fill them in with the chord labelled above the tab. The only bits that I'm not positive about are the Spanish sounding chords at the end and the chords during the second part of the second chorus, if anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it. I always welcome corrections, justifications, additions, ideas, signed blank cheques, the deeds to your house or anything else that all you generous people out there feel the need to send me. Email me. Cheers. Transcribed by MrDug (Douglas Michael Greenall) Email : [email protected] *************************************** Following Written by M. Steele Performed by The Bangles.
