Well, this is a momentous occasion....my first tablature. I hopefully got
all the parts in. The previous tab submitted was incomplete in many ways,
so I decided to fill in the gaps. Several notes: Each verse Riff varies
slightly at the end, but I didn't think this enough to worry about. I don't
think that the F# in the final Headstrong verse is right, but I couldn't find
that perfect chord, so if you get it, let me know by e-mail. Finally, thanks
to Katherine for inspiring me to figure out the song and to write it on
tablature to share with all. Thanks!, God Bless all of you.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JARS OF CLAY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
