Awesome tab, thank you very much. My laziness with fretting with my pinky has really come back to haunt me with this song. Going to take a bit of practice! Sounds spot on to me though. 5*

Really good job man. The only thing I hear differently in the live recordings is in the 4th (or 8th, depending on how you count it) bar of the verse, I think the 10th fret should be 11th, like so: [tab] G-------------------------------------- D----7-8-7-11-7-8-7---7-8-7-11-7-8-12-- A-------------------------------------- D-------------------------------------- [/tab]

Damn near spot on tab, mate. My favourite song on the album so I'm super stoked to find such a good tab! Only correction I think needs to be made that hasn't already is on that chorus, the fourth bar. |--------------------------------| |--------------------------------| |--------------------------------| |3-5-5-5-5-5-3-0-3------2--------| Sounds to me like it should be |--------------------------------| |--------------------------------| |--------------------------------| |3-5-5-5-5-0-3-0-3------2--------|
