We now have an easy to use accurate tab for a brilliant song. I don't think you'll get a better tab on the net, but if you do email me. N.B LISTENING TO THE SONG AT ALL TIMES IS VITAL THIS TAB IS CORRECT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE BUT IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THEN LISTEN TO THAT PART OF THE SONG AND IT WILL.
