good...ok... as far as the chord transcription...but the song is a full step lower than what you have...it should be F - A# - C - A#

great tab, thanks man
and this key talk is pointless (it always is). Just choose the key most suited for your voice.
And they usually did live versions in G.

when ur playing for a joke i dont think the whole step down tuing dealy really matters does it? As long as you can tune your voice to go along with it your good to go. Is my opinion anyway.
