Nice one, man.
Pretty sure it's Am rather than C in the verse, and G G F#m F#m Em as the run down into the chorus

Great work on the tab. I do reckon it's B instead of Bm in the chorus. Also, the run down is G-F#-F#-F at the start of the chorus, but changes to A-G-G-F# for halfway through chorus and leading out of the chorus back into the verse! Great work though!

Thanks a lot for this! I'm pretty sure it's a B7 in the bridge rather than a straight B.
