E|---------0---0---2---2---1---0-----------------------------------| * * * * * * * * Exhibit A: This chord is likely not correct as there is no B4 note audible in the recording. But by all means play it if it sounds pleasing to you. Improvements this tab has over Ver 1 and rationale for creation: 1) An accurate bassline 2) Accounts for the variations in all four verses 3) Accounts for the variations in all 3 bridges 4) The transitions between the chords are all accurate (evident in bar one), unlike Ver 1 5) Inclusion of lyrics 6) More accurate outro.
