Good tab, but one improvement for me is to start each line with G before the Gmaj7, then Am7 to D etc...just sounds better, and fills out the four beats per measure time to this song!!!

and it's nice and easy to slide down the pinky a fret to go from G to Gmaj7

I have the original recording of this song and there is no bridge 2 or Verse 4. Total time of song is just over 2 minutes
