Very good tab and a small nuance. The F# in the pre chorus is a Bb diminished chord.

Excellent job! I’m sure yours is right, but I’ve always used an F#7 where you have F#…. But I just played from memory and never played along with the record. I always figured, so long as I’m close and it sounds OK. Thanks for putting this up!

Tab has now been updated from two somewhat messy charts to one good, well formatted one.
