I've just heard a live unplugged version of 'Laid' (off the 'Say
Something' CD single) and here's my best guess....

Hey... pretty good tab! I thought instead of playing the C and G combination for the chorus, try changing it to: -1----3--| -1----3--| -2----4--| -3----5--| -3----5--| -1----3--| I think it sounds alright.

The chorus riff has got to be F G, not C G.

very good. You have a couple lyrics that are off in the third verse. Should be: Caught your hand inside the till Slammed your fingers in the door Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
