I've seen a few versions of this up, but they all have this funky
pull-off hammer thing that doesn't fit with the rhythm. The way I
play it is a pull-off 3 to 0 on string 1, and then with the same rhythm
pick string 2 and 3 in whichever chord shape I'm using. So the pull-off
is done at the same speed as picking 2 and 3.

I think there is a mistake in last part - B not 3 but 1 as in previous parts, we could see it clearly on the video, but in my opinion this tab version is the best of all 4 that we have now

TrumpetPlayer!
The G/B chord should be x20010 instead of x20030. Just keep your finger on the first fret of the B string the entire time.

I like to add a 3p1 on the B string after the 3p0 on the e string, not sure if it's like that in any version of the song, but to me it sounds good!
