spot on

to the ****in idiot who commented second, if you cant figure out where the chord changes are without being shown the exact points in time then put down your guitar and dont pick it up again. maybe he could have put the exact times of each change to the nearest tenth of a second so that you could follow along on your itunes too, that wouldae been dead helpful eh. nice tab mate, perfectly ample for people who are not brain dead. and as with anything, play whatever chord forms you want. its not 'wroing' that he hasnt put a C#5, they all work its just personal preference. in the chorus I personally like an F#7add4 (F# major barre shape with top two strings left open), for example. take the song and make it your own...

sounds spot on to me
