I think that last C should be an Em, and im not so sure about the C's before the Dm bits... But nice tab. :)

That C is so wrong. Any idea what it might be instead??

Using the starting Dmin chord if you can stretch your little pinky up to the C note (3rd fret) on the A-string to tag the note on and off you get that bass note punch .....hope that makes sense?
