This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Standard Tuning

This tab should be fairly accurate, and the song

is quite easy to duplicate by just listening to the

record. Just improvise using the sections below.

The song sounds great on a nylon string guitar, or

electric guitar with some kind of "dubbed" sound. If

playing on a steel string guitar, I like tuning it

down 0.5 step.

*1 sometimes during the vocal "chorus" (... in a cross

bones style... ), also as bridge before "somekind-

of-solo".

B and G strings played a bit harder and agressive.
