OK.

Now I knooooooow what youre gonna say. "this doesnt sound like the chords regina plays 
And youre right. it doesnt. But it works with the melody just as well.
I just really wanted to put this song up, cos i love it so.

And its my first tab, so be nice!
And im self taught, so i guess its kinda for novices...feel free to embellish all you 
proper guitarry people out there :)

Capo can be put anywhere, but I personally think either on 3, or just not all sounds nicest...

For this song, i play G as: 320030

Intro:

G G Caad9 Cadd9 G G Cadd9 Cadd9

G (320003@1)        Cadd9Come (x32030@1)on Bartender

D (xx0232@1)              EmLove (022000@1)will be the death of me
Cadd9 (let it ring...)
Love is so fickle
Cadd9 (finger pick)
Its starts with a flood and ends

With a tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-trickle

Love is so fickle

Cause it starts with a flood
                                                     GAnd (320003@1)it ends with a tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr trickle
G (one quick strum only!)
Trickle
GTrickle (320003@1)GTrickle (320003@1)GTrickle (320003@1)GTrickle (320003@1)

G Cadd9 G


There we go chums =] i find it nice, when playing the first part of the verse, play 
like this: 320030, and then when you get to "love is so fickle..." play it:: 320033.
just how I do it. :)
And also, i like to instead of all out strumming, pluck the bass E and then strum the 
3. So like pluck, strum, pluck strum etc...
