Tuning: Standard

This is my first attempt at a proper TAB...here goes.
Notice that the chords are amazingly similar to those in 'Warm Fuzzy Feeling'

Suggested voicings:

  A (x02220@1)B (x2444x@1)DE5* (xx0232@1)F (133211@1)name="chord_244222@1">F#m
e-0--2--2--x--1--2-|
B-2--4--3--x--1--2-|
G-2--4--2--x--2--2-|
D-2--4--4--2--3--4-|
A-0--2--5--2--3--4-|
E-0--2--2--0--1--2-|

*For E5, it's basically just hitting the E string with down strokes, but you can add more

[INTRO]
>>in the intro and chorus chords, there's a small theme that goes like this:
e-----------------------------------------------|
B---2---2---3-2-0-2-0---------------------------|
G---------------------2-------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------|
>>this might be played on a different guitar, but if you're playing solo,
>> try to play this with the chords in the chorus. Not too hard with the A chord, but 
in F#m
