During the second line of each verse it sounds like they walk down the bass note from a G to an F, and then play an Fm for 2 measures before walking back up to a G. It occurs during the second half of the 4th measure in place of the Gm Cm 1/8 note downstrokes, while the the walk back up the neck occurs 2 measures later in place of the Gm Gm 1/8 note down strokes. I don't have a very good eat, but I think it's an Fm they play, does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

I absolutely love this tab, major kudos.

what chords are in the chorus???
