     Now, do not quote me on this, and I'm not very good on chord names
and I do not know the song too well but here is how I reckon it.


   E-----Eadd9----Asus2----Asus2 twidly bit...

   Hey, that explains loads!!! 

now to explain the chords cos I know I named them incorrectly.

   E   as a normal E

    Eadd9    ---------------------
             ---------------------
             -------2------------
             -------4-----------]
             -------4-----------
             -------------------


   Asus2     --------
             --------
             ---2----
             ---2----
             --------
             --------


  The twidly bit is done by playing Asus2 and droping on to the bottom 
 e (high) string on and off  i.e.

        ----2-----
         ------------
         ---2-----
         ---2-----
         ----------
         ----------


  you see, on and off on the bottom string.

  And repeat and nauseum!!!


     I know this is probably the worst tab ever seen on the group,
   but if you have any problem or know what the real names of the chords
are, do post!!!
