This is correct. This is the acoustic version, so it is just a D chord. [xx0232]

Good tab but I agree with by bthvnsk8. Also, try the verse this way: D, Am, (X02213) C, (X32013) Em7, (022030).

im just making a correction on the intro. after much debate over wich D chord it is ive concluded that it is D7 - x50535. So use that instead. if anyone wants to tab out the piano part for the guitar, that'd be nice. well thats it for now... -> thedarkwin
