Tuning: Standard
A great song, but it is quite difficult to find out what is going on in
all of these layers of sound. In order to create a tab for one guitar, one
has to make decisions: including some of the notes while neglecting others for
reasons of playability and overall sound.
The G and Gm in the verses, for example, might well be G6 and Gm6 respectively.
But I decided against including these options because in a single-guitar version
they tend to over-emphasize the change here while obscuring the continuity from
one G chord (G major) to another (G minor), which, to my ears, is more important
here. Anyway, I included voicings for G6 and Gm6 in the chords section that sound
good. Include them if you like and create a version that suits you!
So, here is my reading of this classic. Suggestions and comments are very
welcome!

Capo: 2nd fret
