This version is stepped down slightly for a more forgiving vocal range playing solo, while keeping and adding
all of the important chord changes.
You can highlight the melody of the Intro very easily with these chords
on the 6 and 5 strings.
The open B up the neck in the Pre-Chorus sounds especially nice for this song,
as noted below.
B: 799800
Cmaj7: 032000
A5: 002200
Dsus4: X00230

Thank you for putting this tab up here, a lot of the other versions aren't correct and so I use yours (although when I'm playing along with the original track I transpose this -7 and use a capo on the 4th fret to match the recording). Just a couple of tiny things...the way you've written the Dsus4 chord diagram at the top of the tab is really showing an Asus4 if you're playing it with the A string open, or a Dsus2 (if the A string is meant to be muted) rather than a Dsus4 (which would be X-X-0-2-3-3 for a Dsus4) and the A5 diagram shows an Asus2 if the B string is played (an A5 would be written as X-0-2-2-X-0) or if the E string and B string are played open, as your diagram shows, then it would be an Esus4 instead. Changing those chord names would really help beginners so there's no confusion. Anyway, cheers again 👍
...btw, if those couple of bits are changed, it's definitely a 5 star tab!
