I wrote this tab to what I thought I heard on the record but I was watching Heart on a DVD yesterday and found that they were playing it in different spots on the neck. This way of playing it sounds the same anyway. The chords are just given not the strumming pattern. It?s a basic outline, please add corrections if you can make it more accurate to the recording. This is my first tab. It?s in standard tuning.

This is the intro for the way they usually play it live. Just play a bunch of variations based on this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-2---2---2-2----4-4-------------------------------------------------------
-2h4-2h4-2-2h4--4-4-------------------------------------------------------
-2h4-2h4-2-2h4--2-2-------------------------------------------------------
-2---2---2-2----2-2-------------------------------------------------------


Studio Intro (play around with these chords): 

e---7-------------------------------7--------------------------------------------
b---7-------------------------------7--------------------------------------------
g---7?9----7-----9----------------- 7------------------------------------------------
d---9?9----7-----9----7------9----- 9------------------------------------------------
a---9?7----5-----7----7------9------9------------------------------------------------
E---7-----------------5------7------7--------------------------------------------

Verse:

e----7-------------------7--------------------------------------------------------
b----7-------------------7------------------------------------------------------
g----7--------------1----7---------------1-------------------------------------
d----9---7---5------2----9----7----5-----2-----------------------------------------
a----9---7---5------2----9----7----5-----2---------------------------------------
E----7---5---3------0----7----5----3-----0---------------------------------------

Chorus:
e----7------------------------------7--------------------------------7----------
b----7--------5----------5----------7-----------5--------5-----------7---------
g----7----------7----------7------- 7---------------7--------7-------7---------
d----9-----7----------7------7------9------7----------7---------7----9----------
a----9------------------------------9--------------------------------9-----------
E----7------------------------------7--------------------------------7----------

e-----------------------------------------------------------------------
b----5-------5---------------------------------------------------------
g-------7--------7------------------------------------------------------
d-7-------7---------7---------7-----5----4------------------------------
a-----------------------------7-----5----4------------------------------
E- ---------------------------5-----3----2-------------------------------
 
 (Actually while watching the DVD I found that Nancy plays the picking at the open D 
position without her middle finger on the high e string. But it's the same notes...)

Before next verse do this:
e-----7-----------------------------------------------------
b-----7----------------------------------------------------
g-----7----------------------------------------------------
d-----9-----4--4--4--4-----------------------------------
a-----9-----4--4--4--4-----------------------------------
E-----7-----2--2--2--2----------------------------------


Chords right before the lead:
e---2----3----------7--------------------------
b---2----3----------7-------------------------
g-- 4----5----------7------------------------
d---4----5----7-----9-------------------------
a---2----3----7-----9------------------------
E-------------5-----7-------------------------
