Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Key: F# Difficulty: Novice CAPO 1. This tab includes all the keyboard/synthesizer interludes when they occur within the standard chorded tablature. For what it's worth, I don't think one single guitar was used in the production of this song, but if you like to play along and not miss parts, here you have it.
