READ MY MIND - THE KILLERS

Standard Tuning (EADGBE), Capo 1

This tab covers all bars as played in the album version,
if a chord is played over more than one bar then it's either duplicated or marked with a "(2x)". 
The indentation should also be fine so that the chords match the words.

This is the version I play on my acoustic guitar, I hope you like it.
