Good tab, buddy. I really enjoyed learning this song. I do have a few corrections to make, I believe. Chorus should be: e-----------------------------| B-----------------------------| G-12--11-10-9--8-8-8-7-7-7-----| D--9--8--7--6--5-5-5-4-4-4-----| A-10--9--8--7--6-6-6-5-5-5-----| E-----------------------------| e--------------------------------------| B-----3b-------3b----------------------| G-----3b-------3b---------3---3-3-3----| D------------------------------------2-| A-----------------x-3-3--------------2-| E-3-3----x-3-3-----------------------O-| e--------------------------------------| B---3b-------3b------------------------| G---3b-------3b------------------------| D------------------9-8-7-6-5-5-5-4-4-4-| A-----------------10-9-8-7-6-6-6-5-5-5-| E-0----x-0-0---------------------------| Then on the 2nd solo, I hear this: Solo 2: e-------6b-------6b------6h8p6-10b12-8-8-6------------------------6-| B-6-7-8----6-7-8----6-7-8------------------8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8---| G-------------------------------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------------------------| e-10-------6b-------6b------6h8p6-10b12-8-8-6------------------------6-| B----6-7-8----6-7-8----6-7-8------------------8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8---| G----------------------------------------------------------------------| D----------------------------------------------------------------------| A----------------------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Instead of this in the verse: e|-----------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------3-| G|-------4---------------5-------------0---| D|-----5---5-----------5---5---------0-----| A|---5-------5-------6-------6-------------| E|-3-----------3---3-----------3---3-------| I find that this lessens the awkwardness of the second chord: e|-----------------------------------------| B|-------0---------------1---------------3-| G|-----0---0-----------0---0-----------0---| D|---0-------0-------1-------1-------0-----| A|-----------------------------------------| E|-3-----------3---3-----------3---3-------|
