Here's my take - I'm new to ear-training and tablature-writing so this might not be 100%, but sounds ok to me. (Brackets) mean optional notes, and in chord names means the name of the chord when the optional notes are played. Feel free to send corrections, and please rate the tab! Chords: Dmaj(9dim7) (10) 12 12 11 (0) (0) or Dmaj x x 0 3 2 3 (for the intro) G(dim7)/D (3) 5 5 4 (0) (0) Bm(dim7)/D x 5 4 4 (0) (0) Bm(dim7)/F# x 9 9 7 (0) (0) A(add9)/E x 7 7 6 (0) (0) Gdim7/E x 7 5 7 (0) (0) Lyrics with chords at the bottom Here is the picked arrangement, but it also sounds nice and harmonic if you strum the full chords at points like the chorus/pre-chorus. The intro won't sound exactly the same because I think there's a mild delay multiplying the notes to make it sound like really fast fingerpicking. *INTRO* Dmaj (xx0232@1) Dsus4E|-------------------------------------------------| (xx0233@1)B|-------------------------------------------------| G|--11---------11----------11----------11----12----| D|-------12----------12----------12----------------| A|----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12-| E|-------------------------------------------------| OR Dmaj (xx0232@1) Dsus4E|--3-------3--------3--------3---4-----| (xx0233@1)B|-----2--------2--------2--------------| G|---3---3----3---3----3---3----3--3----| D|--------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------| THEN G/D (4x3121@7) Gsus4/D E|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|--4----------4-----------4-----------4-----5---| D|-------5-----------5-----------5---------------| A|----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5----5-| E|-----------------------------------------------| *VERSE* Just like Johnny Flynn said...
