Downtown Tab

The B-52's - "Downtown" (Petula Clark cover) - Track 9 from their 1979 self-title "The B-52's" album.
 
Tuning:
DADxBB (Ricky's tuning omitting the G string. But really, you can play in Drop D without a problem.)
 
Frankly, although this tab gets the gist of the song through I may have misinterpreted a few subtle things;
I keep thinking Ricky's playing variations here and there and maybe I'm just mishearing a few things.
