This is a great tab. For those commenting on tuning, listen to it on Hatful of Hollow, not The Smiths, it's not a step off, but it goes directly to the verse without the intro.

Regarding the tuning, it's not a half step down, the studio version is not in 440, thats why doesn't sound right, but live versions are in the spot. Nice tab
