Pretty good tab man! Only two MINOR things I noticed. When you were describing the chords for the chorus at the top, you forgot to put the "3" on the high E string, but people should be able to hear it anyways. Also, it sounds like the first chord for the bridge is an "Am", not a "D9." Ben switches to the D9 though.
All in all good tab!
