I think there's already a version of this at Nevada. My tab is quite similar in terms of the notes used, but the strings and fret numbers I use are quite different. I think this way it's a lot easier to play it so you can leave the notes to sustain a little. This is based more on the live versions of the track than the studio version. There's one bit which is quite hard to pull off using just one guitar - if you have a bass and a guitar you can split the part up to make it work, but if you're just playing on your own it's a bit tricky so I've tabbed an alternative part for these shapes - It just uses an alternative shape for the same chord - it isn't exactly what's on the record, but it works well and is nice and easy to play. For this bit I've used curly brackets { to indicate the alternative lines of TAB - the top line is the 'true' line, the bottom line is the easier one. / - slide up - slide down h - hammer on p - pull off let notes sustain ........
