John doesn't actually play C7 again until Pino and Steve come in and verse starts; he just keeps cycling back and forth between Am and Bb until then. Chords: John pretty much only uses barre chords or variants thereof throughout the whole song.

It didn't take me long to discover that such a tab didn't exist, so I to make my own; hopefully, it's close enough that you can learn to enjoy playing this as much as I do. This is only my third tab, so comments and constructive criticism are very Enjoy! ~ Jaquito
