Yeah, I cheated and stole the tab, I’m lazy. Anyway, there are two parts on the tab (by “the tab” I mean the parts that all the tabs I can find online agree) that don’t sound right to me. Here’s the first:

First line of intro and verse.

||–5----6-----6—|  
||----------9----6–|  
||-----------------7-|  
||-------------------|  
||-------------------|  
||-------------------|

That (5) or A has to be wrong. Am I missing something?

Secondly, the end of the last line, at the "I. . . "

| --------------- |
| --- |
| -8–6-7-------5 |
| -8–6-8–8-6-5- |
| --------------- |
| ---------------- |

Huh? Here’s the whole line, in context with the words:

1. waited till I saw the sun I dont know …  
-5–6-----6----|-------------|-------------|---------------  
|-------9----6-|—8-7—7-|6—6-------|---------------  
|--------------7|---------8—|------9—9-|-8–6-7-------5  
|----------------|-------------|–8-----8—|-8–6-8–8-6-5-  
|----------------|-------------|-------------|---------------  
|----------------|-------------|-------------|---------------  
Am I missing something? Thanks.
