Tuning: E A D G B E

I figured this out so it could be played solo on an acoustic guitar. The actual recording is tuned down a half step to Eb (as was the style at the time) but it can be played in standard tuning just as well. INTRO: (At it's most basic, it's these 2 chords...) [Gm Em Gm Em Gm Em (Then this figure just before getting into the verse...or a Gm chord works fine too) e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|--------------------------| A|----0--1--2--1--0---------| E|-3-----------------3--0---| VERSE: Here's an easy way to jump from Gm to Bb. You can let the high e string ring for all the chords as an option; gives it more of that doom sound. Em Gm Bb e|-0-------------0-------0----| B|-0-------------3-------3----| G|-0-------------3-------3----| D|-2-------------0-------0----| A|-2-------------x-------1----| E|-0-------------3------------|

(You can do this little run...or just play Gm to Em like the intro) Gm Em Gm e|---------------------------0---------------------------------| B|---------------------------0---------------------------------| G|---------------------------0---------------------------------| D|---------------------------2---------------------------------| A|----0--1--2--1--0----------2-------------0--1--2--1--0-------| E|-3-----------------3--0----0----------3-----------------3--0-| Strange.........

(Then this thing again to the end...or just play Gm to Em as in the intro) e|---------------------------0---------------------------------| B|---------------------------0---------------------------------| G|---------------------------0---------------------------------| D|---------------------------2---------------------------------| A|----0--1--2--1--0----------2-------------0--1--2--1--0-------| E|-3-----------------3--0----0----------3-----------------3--0-| Strange.........
