Hi all, this is my first transcript so please excuse any incorrect sections.
I play the chords like this.
G5 D* Bm Em C Am A C#m D
e-3---x---2---0---0---0---0---4----5-------
B-3---3---3---0---1---1---2---5----7-------
G-0---2---4---0---0---2---2---6----7-------
D-0---0---4---2---2---2---2---6----7-------
A-x---0---2---2---3---0---0---4----5-------
E-3---2---x---0---x---x---x---x----x-------
Bars are indicated by a "|" symbol. I've tried to put the words in the
right spot.
The G5, A and D chords in the choruses actually change half a beat
before the bar but it's a bit hard to tab.
You can play the D* as a normal D (xx0232) but I think the other
way sounds more like the way they play it.
Anyway, here it is:

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 POWDERFINGER 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.
