First it plays 1a then 1b, then the next it plays 1a a couple of times before going to 1b. The chord that is strummed on each beat later in is the following: e-9--| B-10-| G-11-| D-12-| A----| E----| That's about all I have at the moment. Most of it is correct. Maybe a couple of notes are wrong in that section that changes to the barred twelvth fret. Send me any comments please. I like to hear from people who actually use these tabs.
