man sweet song and excellent tab and trust me this one does work on the ladies.

I just started learning this song and right away the intro seems wrong to me, I havn't looked at the rest yet though...This sounds right: e|-----------------------------------------------------------| b|-----------------------------------------------------------| g|-----------------------6---6---3--4/6--4/6-----------------| D|--7---7---7---/6--/5---6---6---3--4/6--4/6-----------------| A|--7---7---7---/6--/5---4---4---1--2/4--2/4-----------------| E|--5---5---5---/4--/3---------------------------------------| That X 3 then just e|-----------------------------------------------------------| b|-----------------------------------------------------------| g|-----------------------6-----------------------------------| D|--7---7---7---/6--/5---6-----------------------------------| A|--7---7---7---/6--/5---4-----------------------------------| E|--5---5---5---/4--/3---------------------------------------| 7---7---7 I actually just play 5---5---5 and so on without the extra sting played but i felt like writing it that way seeing as both ways work. This is the first thing that iv tabbed that iv ever posted so please dont rag on me if you like the other way better or this is wrong .

By the way, here is the strumming pattern for the intro [tab]|----------------| |----------------| |----------7-77--| |--7-7-777-7-77--| |--7-7-777-5-55--| |--5-5-555-------|[/tab]
