   And you say I only hear what I want to


TAB:

I've transcribed two versions of the intro: the first one is
probably more accurate, the second is probably easier.  When I
play it, I play the G(9) the easy way and the rest the hard way.

accurate:

  G(9) (x2323x@1)           Em7              Am7 (x02010@1)   Bm (x24432@1)     CE (x32010@1)--5-------------|----0-----------|----------------|------10--------|
B ----------------|---0------------|----5-------7---|---8--8---------|

D 5---------------|-5--------5-----|----------------|----------------|

E ----------------|--------------0-|5-----5/7-----7/|8---------8-----|
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  

easy:

Thanks for the chords, Laurent ... for those who are interested, here's
my tab for the intro and verses.  I've also made some minor corrections
to a couple of chords as pointed out by a previous follow-up post.
