This song probably has the most difficult chord progression on the album so some people might find the fingering of the chords a problem. There however is an easier alternate way by playing with a capo on the 2nd fret, it doesn't sound as good though in the chorus and intro/outro, but try it out anyway. At the bottom of the page next to the chord definitions I'll put the alternate chords you would substitute using the capo on the 2nd fret. The song is pretty straight foward, the only things I could really tab was the guitar lines during the 2nd verse and the outro, the rest of the song is just swamped with phaser type washings. The song has an easy strumming pattern so I won't bother tabbing it out. All the tabbed guitar lines are not relative to the capo.
