Song

The ways I've improved the tab are as follows:
1. I have the A chord in the verse as a dominant seventh chord, not a
minor chord. You can hear the major tonality very distinctly, especially
on the toy piano, and the flat seventh just fits right in. Not sure how
three tabs made that same mistake.
2. I've added the Fmaj chord near the end of the chorus, which happens
before the change to Dmaj. Again, not sure how three tabs made the same
exact mistake.
3. I've added F# root to the G chord in the verse because it's very easy to
play and helps guide the song along. It sounds weird without it.
The original key of this song is halfway between F and F#. I've tabbed it in
G simply because this is by far the simplest way to play the song. You'd have
to tune your guitar down 3/4 of a step to match the recording with this tab
(which is what the band probably did). Want the song in F or F#? Use the
transpose tool.

Toy piano intro

    

Verse 1

Sunday mornin' brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feelin' by my side
Early dawnin', Sunday mornin'
It's just the wasted years so close behind

Chorus

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call, it's nothing at all 

Verse 2

Sunday mornin', and I'm fallin'
I've got a feelin' I don't want to know
Early dawnin', Sunday mornin'
It's all the streets you crossed not so long ago

Chorus

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
Who will call, it's nothing at all 

Instrumental

    
     
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you
