These chords are not necessarily correct, I picked all this up
by ear, so I could be wrong. If you find errors, or want to
make any other comments, please e-mail me. This is a great
song - thanks to STP for it, and hope you enjoy playing it!

(note: Am here can have the 9th added for emphasis, to Am9,
and barre chords can be substituted for different effect...
I have not tabbed out all the barre chords above - if you can
play them, you probably know them already)
