This tab is gonna be very basic, just to give you an idea of how to play the song, and to expect with regards to chords. It's very simple and straight-forward, so I hope this you out in some way. Chords (can be played in any variation, this is just the way i hear it) D5 A5 G5 Bm Em A D Alternate form of A5, for the chorus e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------3-----8----------7-------------10-------------------------| G|------------------4-----9-----6----7-------------9--------------------------| D|--7----14---------4-----9-----7----7-------------7--------------------------| A|--5----12---5-----2-----7-----7----5----------------------------------------| E|------------3-----------------5---------------------------------------------| The little riff e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---10----12\-5------7\-3----0---3-5-3--------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D5 A5 If I had eyes in the back of my head G5 Bm D5 I would have told you that you looked good as I walk away (play riff) D5 A5 If you could have tried to trust the hand that fed G5 Bm you would have never been hungry but you'd never really be...
