Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

UPDATE: Corrected to address some concerns!
B is defo Bm. Sorry for the initial mistake.
However, I can't hear the extra G that sheenabon talks of.
I went on youtube and checked some live performances... and my
tab seems correct in this respect!

The timing of the chords is a little tricky to pick up on.
Use barre chords on the verse but ordinary chords sound fine on choruses/other bits. I'm
100% on this tab, but I think correct.
Also, before a G, sometimes a D is played really quickly.
I've left this out, because it isn't totally necessary and you have to
listen kinda hard to notice, but add it in in your playing if you like.
