This a great tab man I don't know why it doesn't have more votes, I can't find anything wrong with it. Good work man
Apologies, there are 4 bars that have a random 'I' in them. Please don't mistake these for notes on the 1st fret, I do not know why these have come out in the tab. They are on the 3rd, 4th, 17th and 42nd bars.
If you're more a video lesson type of person, I'm going to give a shout-out to a great YouTube guitar tutorial guy who specializes in John Mayer songs. His channel is www.youtube.com/zartimus About 3 days after I'd spent weeks working this out, tabbing it all up and putting it on here, he put a tutorial video up for this song (Damn! If only I'd have waited!) Anyway, I'd recommend checking out his video tutorial for this song (It is the Vevo sessions acoustic version he does too) As there are some small details he mentions that, when I hear the song, I realized I failed to pick up on. Personally I don't agree with everything he says to play so I tend to play a blend of his tab and mine. But yeah, it's up to you, but I would recommend checking his videos out, especially if you're a John Mayer fan. He has a tab up on screen and talks you through literally every detail of the song! I can't recommend him highly enough! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOgxvE-ysHg&feature=c4-overview&list=UUOvni9R-aDNYcjmUospGeEA
