Behind These Hazel Eyes - Kelly Clarkson

Tuning: Standard E
Description:
As you can see, I've tabbed both ways of
playing the verse melodies, with or without a capo.
This tab might look like a mess, but bear in mind that
it's my first real tab.
I've tried to make this one comprehensive, that also explains
why it's so big.
I'm a little confused about the strumming that's used in the studio version,
especially in the pre-choruses and the awesome bridge. If it sounds wrong, feel free to
out your own strumming pattern.
I've spent the whole day now using my ear and tweaking this tab to
the best of my abilities, but there's still some things I haven't
nailed yet. For example, the Pre-chorus section is very weak because
I just can't figure out the chords/powerchords in that part of the song.
I tried to make it sound as close as possible, but I know it's not 100% correct.
Feel free to e-mail or comment on that section as I could need a little help.
Also, the "build-up" before the last choruses is very sketchy,
it still sounds kinda correct though.
There is a small amount of notes that
I haven't included, such as the muted notes,
the various palm mutes and the heavy use of feedback.
I just wanted to give you guys a general idea on how to
play this awesome song.
The verse riff can also be used in the choruses... it sounds
really good if both melodies are played at the same time.
Comments are much appreciated, thanks.
Now, lets get down to business.
