Very good - absolutely accurate! Even small details are pointed out (for example the A/E in the instrumental break). I'd tone down the B chord in the chorus, though. The full chord seems too much for me (even though it it sounds way better than the Bm that the other tabs suggest, which is totally off). I usually leave out the 3rd and just play a B5 (x-2-4-4-x-2).

I think this is more accurate than the previous one.

I like UG,and hope to see them change the star rating system.This chord/song/lyric chart has fewer stars,but is one of the only versions that has B major instead of Bm...which is correct.Pardon my rant,and thanks for posting.
