pay close attention to the tab itself for the changes (eg. in the first measure of the verse, the chord progression is C#m/C#sus2/C#m/B, but the 2nd C#m isn't written above the staff because there's not enough room). -4/4 time -- dots (...) under a staff show where the downbeats (1234) fall ^...bend (w=whole tone,s=semi,q=quarter) =...hold note r...release bend /...slide up h...hammer on
