The chorus isn't exactly correct. I have the Heavier Things tab book and transcriptions were supervised by John Mayer. Here is the correct album version chorus. Tuning for the following chorus tab is of course open-Esus2 (low to high): E-B-E-F#-B-E. -----------------------------------------------------| --12--9--------------12--9--------------12--12--x-x--| --12--9--------------12--9--------------12--12--x-x--| --12--9------9--x-x--12--9------9--x-x--12--12--x-x--| --9---9--12--9--x-x--9---9--12--9--x-x--9---9---x-x--| -----------------------------------------------------| repeat for duration of chorus

thanks a lot man and thanks for the corrections guys

Good tab. I think the last time he plays the intro, so when it goes into the verse, he plays something like this, in stead of the same thing again: e-----0^----------------------------------0------------- B-----0^----------------------------------0------------- F#----0^----0---0----0---(0)--------------0------------- E-----0^---0---0----0---(0)---2-----------0-------------(x4) B-----2^--2---4-----------------4p2-0---0h2------------- E-----------------2----4--------------4---------------
