Cheers for learning a new song!
for anyone learning this song after the release of 'Babel', I tabbed this using video of live performances BEFORE the album was released. The lyrics may have changed/rearranged but the chords and intro are correct! Thanks!
This is pretty dang close! I tabbed it out after their performance on SNL and this is pretty spot on!
