Added Tab for the opening riff, showed chord progression all the way through the song to the end. Indicated where full stops and chord accents occur. I feel it is a more accurate interpretation of the actual song as heard on the original track.Was this info helpful?

The other versions of this song have a B major chord but I always thought B minor sounded right.

Nice - thx; One of the most underrated and overlooked bands of their era.

The D and the G sound better if you leave the bottom E string open in my opinion
