Because I can't write rhythm notation using my Powerbook, you are going to
have to listen to the CD and figure out how the notes are played. The
rhythm in this song is pretty straight forward and consistent throughout
the song. This is not a difficult song to play, the key is to make
everything flow.
Intro (This is the section of the song before the singing starts. It is
played over the pulsing E's played on the bass.) The part consists of an Em
arpaggio partern.

Verse. This riff/chord part repeats 4 times in each verse; it accompanies
the vocals until the prechorus. (Again, listen to the CD for the rhythm.)

Outro
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 MOIST 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.
