Underdog (Save Me)

tabbed by Owen Smith

Here are my corrections to previous tab(s) for this song. The others are basically 
but need a few tweaks.

Chords
Verse:
Bm-A-G-G

Chorus:
A-D-G-Ex3

A-A-G- D- E
    Oh,oh,oh..

A couple of alternative voicings for the above chords to spice it up a bit

Bm 7x077x (thanks to Guitar_George for this one - sounds great!!)

D  x54030 (basically an open C shifted up two frets - nice and jangly!)


This is the lead part over the verses:
