This tab works well for me playing and singing by myself, but Ben plays some
passing chords throughout the song on the piano, so its close but not perfect.
I play this song with an open E sound, so i play the E, A, B, and C#m chords like this:
[E] [A] [B] [C#m] [F#m] [Dmaj7]
e ||---0-----0-----0------0-------2--------2----------|
B ||---0-----0-----0------0-------2--------2----------|
G ||---1-----2-----4------6-------2--------2----------|
D ||---2-----2-----4------6-------4--------0----------|
A ||---2-----0-----2------4-------4--------0----------|
E ||---0-----0-----0------0-------2--------0----------|
