Hi all, this is my first transcript so please excuse any incorrect sections.
I play the chords like this.
G5 D* Bm Em C Am A C#m D
e-3---x---2---0---0---0---0---4----5-------
B-3---3---3---0---1---1---2---5----7-------
G-0---2---4---0---0---2---2---6----7-------
D-0---0---4---2---2---2---2---6----7-------
A-x---0---2---2---3---0---0---4----5-------
E-3---2---x---0---x---x---x---x----x-------
Bars are indicated by a "|" symbol. I've tried to put the words in the
right spot.
The G5, A and D chords in the choruses actually change half a beat
before the bar but it's a bit hard to tab.
You can play the D* as a normal D (xx0232) but I think the other
way sounds more like the way they play it.
Anyway, here it is:
