Do forget about it say no go.

Nice tab. Transposed -3 with capo on 3. Just my preference.

Great tab…I think the chorus is: Fm9 Cm11 But I can't go for that, (No can do) Fm9 Cm11 No, I can't go for that, (No can do) Fm9 Cm11 Oh, I can't go for that, (No can do)

Thanks for the great work, man, I appreciate your taking the time and sounds good. One thing though--I found a piano book which has Ab Bb instead of the F G that you have in the transition at the end of each verse. On the recording it's more of a synth bass line with Ab Bb as the notes, but those barre chords work well on acoustic.
