museruledude - "try goin a lil lower". That's some pretty vague advice dude. Maybe try using a little more sense? Or tuning your guitar properly? X Op3th X - Wow, the only positive feedback. I agree with you, the tab is quite nice. Phycopath09 - Way to elaborate on that. In fact, the intro is almost entirely correct, you were just to dense to figure that out. The second bend should be 7b8 on the G string instead of 8b9. dangerousdee - There is an F7 in every verse and chorus in this song. Unless you're playing it in the wrong key, in which case you're playing it entirely wrong. And to everyone else who reads this tab: Disregard most of the comments. This tab has the correct chords. I don't know, some people just have bad days and decide to shit on people's hard work. What can you do?

Nice tab mate! Works well for me :D And to muserule: You can't really go any lower on a guitar. Except lets say E, but thats one semitone, trivial difference. 5/5 stars!

The intro, chorus, and coda should instead be G7 to C7
