Seemed like the other tabs were way off so I'm help'n out here.
Its not really a guitar tune but these are the chords & it sounds pretty good.

"A" is the correct key.

standard tune

V1

Repeat Chorus


note:
theres some detials I can't do here but:

1) the intro is similar to chorus
2) in the verses 2nd bm's lift middle finger on/off to make Bsus2
3) on the dm's lift ring finger on/off to make dm6
4) Esus4 seems to make more sence then E7 right before chorus
5) & some of the bm's are bm7's & same for some of the f#m's ?

This is my 1st tab, hope you liked...need more? send requests to realcygnus@live.com & 
see what I can do.
