E, G6, F#7sus4, Fmaj7#11, C, Bsus4, F5............ The end of the song is cool also.

On the solo you bend 13th fret a full step-- --which sounds like 15th fret of course. And it sounds better if you slide directly to the next note without hitting it. #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song.

This TAB transcription was created using TAB MASTER version 1.0 It makes tabbing songs a whole lot easier. If you want to you can download it through the OLGA resources\tab utilities it is called tablat. P.S. I'm not sure about the F6 Chord in the chorus so if you find something that works better E-mail me at . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro/Verse: Chorus: Dm F6 G Em7+5 F F6 e:-{-----1-----------1---|------3-------------3---|1-----|1---------| B:-{-----3-----------3---|------3-------------3---|1-----|3---------| G:4{--2-----2-----2-----2|---0-----0--------------|2-----|2---------| D:4{0----------3---------|-------------h---2-----2|3-----|3---------| A:-{---------------------|2-----------2/3---------|------|----------| E:-{---------------------|------------------------|------|----------| My Friends are so depressed.....
