Notes:
This tab is mainly written for the 'April 18, 2009 at Shake It in Cincinnati' live performance
(this tab will also work for the recorded version, see below*), which I personally consider
the best and definitive version of the song, it can be seen here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc4E98OFfqI
As the start of the song is cut off in the video, I have indicated where the song begins with:
'Video starts here'.
*This tab will also work on the recorded version, with one difference, which is located near the
end of the tab with:
Em (held 6 beats on recorded version / 12 beats on live version)
When playing multiple measures of the C chord, it sounds proper if you switch between
playing the high (8th fret) and low (major) C chord hand positions for each measure.
|Example lyrics:
| C (high) C (major) C (high)
|Come home, come home, come home
