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

This is only my second tab, so forgive any innaccuracies. In the

places where lead entirely drowns out the bass line, I might be off,

but I think this is pretty close to the truth in any case.

This song is pretty fun to learn, especially alongside "Here In Your

Bedroom". To play either, you need to be able to play two sixteenth

notes followed by two eighths; it was a total bitch for me to learn at

first, but once I got it, it was total fun to play.

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
