Now back to intro chord and into chorus chords and finally finish off with:

|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
|0-0-2-2-/4-4-/6-6-/4-4-/6-6-/8-8-/6-6-/8-8-/10-10-9-9-8-8-7-7-6-6-7-6|

|0-0-2-2-/4-4-/6-6-/4-4-/6-6-/8-8-/6-6-/8-8-/10-10-9-9-8-8-7-7-6-6-7-6|

Finish.

That’s a tough song to tab, but I think it’s mostly right.  Enjoy.
