Dark Horse
George Harrison.
From the album "Dark Horse", 1974
I tried the other tabs available but didn't like either one, so I worked at it and I am 
that this is 100% correct.
And I know that all the other tabs always say that too but I actually mean it.
On the "Dark Horse" album version, George plays this capoed on the 7th fret.
On the "Live in Japan" album, he plays it capoed on the 5th.
