pretty good job, this is a tough song to play correctly... your tab is VERY close, but when you play it a certain way it just sounds a little better --------------- 1. this is easier to play in drop D (which is how it was written) --------------- 2. the verse is D D/C G7M Gm7M dear prudence D D/C G7M Gm7M won't you come out to play and so on... --------------- 3. the bridge is D G/D5 A/D5 G/D5 look around 'round... --------------- chords as follows (remember drop D): D: 000232 D/C: 030232 G7M: 020032 Gm7M: 010032 G/D5: 000433 A/D5: 000655

Partly a correction, partly an addition or tip. I'm pretty sure the bridge part (look around) is played with G/A and D/A, and that these are played with the Dm7 form at the third and fifth frets (open 4th, but no 5th or 6th strings). Hope this helps.

nice i thought it was awsome and it sounds great
