Looked for a tab for this recently and discovered that all the tabs were either
missing a lot, completely wrong or extremely hard to follow so I said I'd give it a proper go.
First submitted tab but pretty sure it's right.
Sorry if the finger picking Fig. 1 and 2 stuff is a bit confusing.
I just wanted to get across the idea of where the first note of it is every time.
Let me know if you find any mistakes. Enjoy.
Six year later 2020 edit -
this gets so many views every week that I thought I should make it a little more accurate.
2023 edit - Added intro strumming pattern and filled out the chords over the second verse for completeness
