This song has multiple layers on the album version, with at least one layer of power chords and one more
complex layer. Previous tabs, when accurate, are power chord only.
These specific chords are from watching the follwoing Bob Mould performance on youtube.
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUck_2PnC6g), and they line up with the album version well enough.
If it's good enough for Bob, it'll do...
