Na, he hits that dissonant note on the CD.
Your way does sound better, much more harmonically correct, but not the way he did it.

Yeah I was thinking whether I got it right or I just went my own way, sort of glad I went my own way though :)

Agreed, in GW's tab, that's what it says and I'm pretty sure it's correct cause I think that tab was based on how John played it in the lesson...

But that's if you want to play it the way he played it there

I know this isn't what the topic was originally about but does anyone know the tabs for the chorus? I know the start which is:

- - - - 11 11 11 11
10 9 9 9 12 12 12 12
11 9 9 9 11 11 11 11
11 9 9 9 - - - -
9 7 7 7 - - - -
- - - - - - - -

Right? But after this I don't have a clue. Can anyone help me?

That's how I usually play it, but in the Guitar World tab, it's pretty much the same chord but you got the play the B on the 9th fret G string as well

If you can find it, I think the tab in the Aug. 2008 Guitarist was pretty good. They had one epic fail in the "like I did that day" section.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-x-10--9-9-9--11-11-11-11--10-10-10-------------------------------------------
-x-11--9-9-9---0--0--0--0--11-11-11--x-x--------------------------------------
-x-11--9-9-9--11-11-11-11--11-11-11--x-x--------------------------------------
----9--7-7-7---9--9--9--9---9--9--9-------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it's:

--------------11-11-11-11------------------------------------------------------
-x-10--9-9-9--12-12-12-12--10-10-10--------------------------------------------
-x-11--9-9-9--11-11-11-11--11-11-11--x-x---------------------------------------
-x-11--9-9-9---9--9--9--9--11-11-11--x-x---------------------------------------
----9--7-7-7----------------9--9--9--------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, they have the last chord down as:
-0-
-0-
-6-
-7-
-7-
---

and I think it's:

---
-2-
-2-
-2-
-0-

Thanks guys :yes: Really appreciate it! Because of this I finally learned a song completly :P

The last chord is more like you said panicked. I do think the e should be played open though. Which makes it:

0
2

0

i always play the last chord like this

E--0
B--5
G--6
D--7
A--7
E--x

it's just a regular A - but with E in the bass - so A/E actually

Huh.. That's not how John does it. Well, he doesn't do it in the interview where he plays under the bridge at slow and normal speed, if I remember correctly. But who cares as long as it sound right and good <3
