Guitar Tab

The main guitar in the actual recording may be tuned down a bit, but
since it is all barre chords, playing it in standard tuning works fine.
Song is in 4/4. Best to get the strumming down by listening. Enjoy.

D#  | x 6 8 8 8 6      G#  | 4 6 6 5 4 4     Cm  | x 3 5 5 4 3  or  8 10 10 8 8 8

Not sure of the name of Cm* chord, but basically you just are walking down
the note on the G string for the C minor chords in the chorus.
(or the D string if you choose to play it that way)
