Capo 1
 
Lyrics/chords are written for solo, which is different from the song, especially at the
end, so just keep that in mind.
The switch between F to Fm is basically pulling off the G string for a beat, which I
think sounds entirely more accurate!

You'll need a capo on the first fret to play in the same key that the song is in. Also, I figured out the main riff (relative to capo): [tab] e|------------- b|------5------ g|----5----5--- (x2) D|-7---------7- A|------------- E|------------- e|------------- b|------8------ g|----5----5--- D|-5---------5- (x2) A|------------- E|------------- e|------------- b|------8------ g|----5----5--- (alternate this...) D|-7---------7- A|------------- E|------------- e|------------- b|------8------ g|----5----5--- (... with this) D|-5---------5- A|------------- E|------------- [/tab] But good job on the tab!

So far you're the only one who's made a tab for this. Thanks for doing a good job with it. :)

F Fm F Fm doesn't sound correct to me. I think F Fsus2 F Fsus2 sounds more like the recording. Can anyone confirm? Also, "Would it be much..." should start on Am not F
