Tuning: EADGBE (Standard)
This tab is based off of the original Band recording of this song, not the By Your Side
b-side. The only real difference between the two in terms of the chords is that the "A
game nobody won" and "A song already sung" lyrics have B and E chords played over them
on the Band version and A and D on the By Your Side b-side. The choruses to the Band
version loosely follow the intro in terms of the picking pattern, and while there's just
a little more going on during the choruses it's not significant enough to warrant
re-tabbing the choruses note for note. The By Your Side b-side, on the other hand, is
all over the place in terms of the picking in both the intro, choruses, and even verses,
so the chords
will have to suffice.
