Just a few things that miss : the intro is like : e---X----X------X----X----X----X----X--X-X--X-X-X-X-X--| b---0----0------0----0----X----0----0--0-0--0-0-0-0-0--| g---0----0------0----0----X----0----0--0-0--0-0-0-0-0--| d---0----0------0----0----X----0----0--0-0--0-0-0-0-0--| a---4----4h5----4----0----0----4----5--4-0--5-4-0-5-4--| D---5----5------5----5----0----5----5--5-5--5-5-5-5-5--| The Chord leading to CHORUS is more likely : e--0--| b--3--| g--0--| d--2--| a--X--| D--3--| An easier way to play chorus is, and it is as jamie plays it (look at live videos) : CHORUS e----0--------0--------0--------0--------| b----0--------0--------0--------0--------| g----6--------4--------6--------6--------| d----7--------5--------7--------7--------| a----0--------0--------0--------0--------| D----7--------5--------7--------7--------| ($) e----0--------0--------0--------5---5----| b----0--------0--------3--------5---5----| g----6--------4--------2--------7---7----| d----7--------5--------0--------0---0----| a----0--------0--------0--------0---0----| D----7--------5--------2--------0---0----| I agree with the rest of the tab. Thanks for giving me a base to work on.
