Good tab, although the background guitar part and the outro part might be switched around. But that's just nitpicking, as is this: Seems there sometimes are 5th fret harmonics in the verse guitar just after the last A chord, either on the B string, high E string, or both.

Yeah, Miss_Plant is right. The lyrics are pretty off.
