not really accurate to the album version, but it still sounds pretty :)

You nailed on the bass line Stephen.

Lack of formatting. Lack of accuracy. This song is a composite of bass and two guitars that make it sound the way it does. In the verses, the bass progression follows F# E# D# C# while the rythme guitar changed between three chord, F# triad, A#m/E#, and D# triad. There is no BM7, as it says in this tab, and there is no explanation that these chords are played on the 6th fret (6th position). Plus, there is an A# pedal tone in the bass, but that doesn't matter too much.
