IMPORTANT TUNING INFO: Due to tape speed manipulation

the original recording is not in standard pitch,

the only way to play along accurately will require

some retuning. Using a chromatic tuner, tune all your

strings up approx. +40 cents above standard pitch.

CAPO: 2nd fret

(Song will then sound in approx. recorded key of E)

I would suggest using the voicings in the text

column numbers below.

Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the

information at the bottom of the tab.

Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo

D = xx0232 G = 320033 (C/B) = x2xxxx

DM7/C# = x40222 G * = xx5433 (C/A) = x0xxxx

D7/C = x30212 Dm7 = xx0211 Em7/D = xx0000

Am7 = x02010 Dm7/C = x30211 D7 = xx0212

Adim7 = x01212 F = xx3211 D/F# = xx4232

Em = xx2000 Bdim7 = x2313x C/E = xx2010

C = x32010 E = 022100 C/D = xx0010

Esus4 = 022200 N.C. = No chords

The chords marked in brackets are intended to be

played as bass notes only, rather than full chords.

From the G * shape slide down into the Dm7 chord.

Emphasise the bass note on all the slash chords.

=====================================================

For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my

suggested choices you need to manually select the

following choice of options by clicking on the

forward/backward arrows below nine of the diagrams.

D7/C Em G F Bdim7

<2 of 25> <3 of 26> <2 of 27> <2 of 16> <3 of 11>

Esus4 C/B D/F# C/E

<3 of 25> <12 of 15> <3 of 20> <3 of 32>

The remaining chord boxes can be the default first

option and don't need any reselecting. As long as you

are logged into your account, these choices will be

saved automatically for every time you view this tab

There are two inversions of G in my tab

(differentiated by an asterisk in my chord legend).

Currently there is no facility to save both

variations as chord boxes, so you will have to

choose which one of them to display.

G or G *

<2 of 27> <5 of 27>
