thank you so much for this!!! it's perfect! i adore this song!
Very nice. However, there are some definite corrections, though they are minor..all minor chords, actually. :) Sorry for the pun.
For the line "With a vision of the channel coast," the Em should be an F#m.
And, for the section "I remember how it took you down," both Em chords should be Bm. This goes for the next section that is similar as well.
Other than that, it seems to sound spot on. Keep it up.
thank you very much!!love this song!!great tab!
