Tuning: Drop D Instrument: 6-string acoustic Notes: This is meant for a lone acoustic guitar. I believe that this song is actually played in Open B (Low to high: B F# B E A B) tuning, but it's a pain in the butt to detune your guitar to that. This is a Drop D alternative, so the notes may not line up with the real song, but they're close enough. I owe a lot too Mike Smith for doing the best job tabbing this song so far, (his tab can be found on XGuitar.com.) I haven't included the harmonics you hear in the song. I think those are over-dubbed anyway. During the 2nd part of the chorus, you'll notice I have some 'ghost' (or 'optional') notes there. Those are hard to hit on an acoustic without a cutaway, so I left it open to the individual guitar player. Both the chorus and the bridge only contain suggestions of how to strum the chords. The chords themselves are accurate, but you may disagree with my strumming pattern. That's fine, just do what sounds best to you.
