Yeah your'e right. Thanks :)

After watching the Live and intimate version on youtube i think the last bit you have tabbed for russell is like this, alternating between each and missing out the first 9 on G the first time he plays it. Tell me what you think e|---------------|---------------| B|-----12-10-9---|-----12-10-9---| G|9--9-----------|9---9----------| D|-11------------|---------------| A|---------------|--12-----------| E|---------------|---------------|
