I use Am7 in the verses: Am7 - F#m. Seems to sound more like original. Good tab.

+12

In the chorus, when go you to the D at the end of first two lines, Krieger does a D to Dsus4 to D; similar to the final line in the chorus where it is E to E7. Otherwise the chords are spot on, there is an argument for the Am7 rather than Am as previously commented.

damn goood stuff man
