I think chord placement is right.. just a lot of fast switches. However Bm isn't part of the scale...Em7 in place of that sounds right. Other than that awesome tab, much easier to play than ver 1 =P

i think maybe the chord placement is wrong in relationship to the lyrics.

Great tab mate. So much easier than the others which didn't seem to fit properly. I transposed to the original key (Gm) and played along with the record straight away, with just a couple of hi-cups on my part.well done mate. Not an easy one.
