1st and 5th-strings should be muted unless specified as open.

The numerous string-scrapes in the performance suggest that many of the

chords are played in high positions. The low-third in Bm and recurring

D-note is likely the 4th-string being left open. There is a certain

logic to these voicings - more familiar forms may be used if preferred.

TAB shows some melodic figures added to the chords and the occasional

missing down-beat. Full strum is not shown.

/ = legato slide

B = hammer-on

p = pull-off

o = open-string occurs incidentally

INTRO/VERSE: (Bars 3-6 repeated twice in verse)

Chorus

Vibes ending can be simulated using harmonics:
