Hey Renee (Acoustic)/The Smoking Popes   
This is actually my first "tab". Please email me or comment for changes/alterations. I don't know 
some of the obtuse minor/major chords so I just winged it with the names (Emin7, Emaj7, G#min7, D7, 
Dmaj9). Hopefully it is still translating. Note that the spacing is off, I tried to fix this. Anyway,
Enjoy.
