The VERSE/CHORUS section is just the basic idea to start with.
Listen to the tune and you will easily find the little fills Paul uses to
funk it up. Doesn't have to be identical to sound really good.
Just stick to the melody and remember the song is in Dm. This is my
first tab ever, so please rate and comment/correct it!
One of my favorite songs and artists, so it was worth pouring over to
try to give the most helpful & accurate tab.
