When It's Dark tab by John Martyn

Intro

[Verse]
  Badd11                                    Badd9add11
D|------------------|----------------------|----------------|
A|------------------|----------------------|-----6-------6--|
G|8-----------------|----8-8----8-------8-8|----6--------6--|
D|9-----------------|----9-9---9--------9-9|---9---------9--|
A|7------9-7---7h9-9|---------7---7--------|--7----9--------|
D|9--x-9-----x------|x-9---x-9------x-9-9-x|9--------x-9---x|

The verses are essentially the same as the intro, alternating between the two shapes
with percussive slaps on the 2nd and 4th beat and raked arpeggiations:

[Verse]

  Badd11       Badd9add11
D|------------|----------|
A|------------|6---------|
G|8-----------|6---------|
D|9-----------|9---------|
A|7-----------|7---------|
D|9-----------|9---------|

[Chorus]

  C#m7     Badd11   F#m7  G#m7  F#m7  G#m7  F#m7  G#m7  F#m7
D|----------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------|
G|9--------8--------2-----4-----2-----4-----2-----4-----2---|
D|9--------9--------2-----4-----2-----4-----2-----4-----2---|
A|---------7------------------------------------------------|
D|11-------9--------4-----6-----4-----6-----4-----6-----4---|

This is the same throughout the entire song, except the very end which skips the first
two chords in the chorus
