This is an update to Mike Perry's very nice tab of this song. I've marked and numbered the verses, added the bass walk-up at the end of line 1 verse 1, wrote in chords over the lyrics for verses 2 and 3 and re-copied the chorus chords and lyrics for ease in following a singer while playing accompaniment.Was this info helpful?
