Tabbed by DJ 14th Mar 2016
I've tried to make an easy as possible guitar tab of this song,
so I'm not really trying to create a definitive version aimed
at all musicians. The voicings are the best combination I could
come up with, hopefully, none of the shapes are too much of a
challenge for a reasonably experienced guitarist.
NOTE:
On guitar the Bm11/E and Cm11/F could be substituted by E7sus4
and F7sus4. I just felt that the m11 chords just worked slightly
better in those chorus progressions, it's a very subtle difference.
KEYBOARD PLAYERS:
To be totally accurate the D#/G should be F#13b9(no7) and the
E/Ab should be G13b9(no7), but these don't sound as good on guitar,
For keyboard players, or guitarists who don't like capos, use the
transpose function set to [+2} to view the song in Stevie's key.
CAPO: 2nd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of B)
