===================================================================

This song of course sounds best if you tune the guitar down half 
a step, but it's not necessary. The chords listed below are all 
relative to position, not pitch. For example, anything listed as 
an "E" is really "Eb", due to the lower tuning, but it's been 
named "E" because the fingering is the way you'd play an "E" if 
the guitar were in standard tuning, and so on...

Listen to the song to get the rhythm/strumming pattern down. All 
of the notes in each chord aren't always used, plus there are lots
of little variations (as always). Add some notes here and there 
while strumming to create "mini-riffs". The most notable example
of this are the "Bm" chords in the verses. The chord isn't so much
strummed as it is the basis of the transition between the "F#m" 
before it and the following "D". Listen to see what's being 
played. Another example of variations are the "A" chords during 
the chorus. Some "Asus4" variations are thrown in throughout. 

There is also an electric guitar which seems to be capoed at the 
7th fret, which is arpeggiating the chords of the chorus and 
outro. I have not tabbed that here, but it is easy to figure out 
if you want to add it in.
