Chords used:
I put both versions of the chords (where applicable) because I'm not
sure which one is correct, but they both sound good.
Verse chords:
Dm: x00231 (or 577555)
Am: x02210 (or 557765)
These two are played during the main verses while Dave sings.
The pattern is Dm/Dm/Am/Am for the whole verse.
Bridge chords:
D : x0023x
A : x02220 (or 557775)
G : 320033 (or 355733)
F : 133211
Again, I put the alternative fingerings in parentheses because I'm not
exactly sure which is right, though either way sounds fine to me.
The pattern is A/G/F/D.
Now for the tab:

These are all equal measures. The chords are strummed on the last
word of each measure.

The song then goes into a part I don't dare try to tab - just strum the
Am/Dm chords along with it and occasionally pick a note here and there
along with what you hear.

[Out]: This follows the same pattern as the verse [Dm/Dm/Am/Am]

Well, that's the song. Like I said, this is my first tab, so it's not
perfect, and I welcome any feedback at gish@poboxes.com!
