C   G/B   A7s  D/F#    

C     x3201x
G/B   x2003x   <- with some G/B add E (x20030)
A7s   x02033
D/F#  20023x   <- also, D2/F# (200230)


notes:

1. I wrote out everything in G, relative to standard tuning - the original is
all strings tuned down a half-step, and thus in F#. also, it's played on a
classical guitar, and that's a cello in the background (definitely a cello; not
violin or a viola)

2. you might notice that some lines of this are not exactly like the original.
I had to take some liberty to "reinterpret" a bit, while trying to stay true to
the style and close to the picking patterns to the best of my ability. it's
simply too hard (or impossible) to hear certain parts of it, particularly in
the verses.

3. if you made it through the tab, you probably won't need me to go line by
line through the 2nd verse, the following choruses, etc.

4. sorry, I didn't do the ad-lib ending where he goes off on his own.
