...a bit of correction... Chris tunes the 1st and the 2nd, i.e the two bottomost strings, to C#. And he plays them open in the entire sond. Thats how he gets the ring... Tune it E A D G C# C#.

 

Good tab. Most of the tabs I've seen online use A-root-string barre chords and don't take into account the important Chris thumb-action. :cool:

 

Two changes I'm suggesting...

-The quick F#5-F-E is played by Chris as 244200, 133200, 022100.

-In the 4th beat of the Cm in the verse, it's a sort of Bsus2 type of chord to transition to the A. The tab for that is 799800.

 

You could also leave the e (highest/bottomest....ARGH TERMINOLOGY :veryangry2:) as... e. My reasoning for that is that the note E sounds pretty good with all of the chords, and I'm paranoid about my little e string since I've broken it a couple times in detuning. :embarrassed:
