Thanks for Tab. I figured out this song a long time ago but never wrote it down, and got lazy so I looked up this tab. One thing, though. For some reason substituting an A or A-Am7 sounds better to me than the Em7 that's in this Tab. Of course I could be wrong since this one seems to agree with every other tab on other sites.
