also its much easier to play the octaves one string higher. i.e: e]----------------------------------| B]----------------------------------| G]11--12---14---16------------------| D]----------------------------------| A]9---10---12---14------------------| E]----------------------------------| similarly e]----------------------------------| B]----------------------------------| G]----------------------------------| D]11--12---14---16------------------| A]----------------------------------| E]9---10---12---14------------------|

as the guy above me posted. the base notes are G and D rather than the A posted in the tab.

I could be completely wrong about this but I think the chord throughout the song is as you have it listed but you hold 10 on A as well. And then in the chorus you hit that same chord but alternate from 10 on A to 10 on E. I can't remember where I saw it played like that but it sounds correct to me.Great tab though, I learned the song in about 10 minutes.
