You hit it right on the dot...but I'm pretty sure Sean uses a capo at the 4th fret. It makes it hella easier. Just transcribe the notes to be relative to the 4th fret. The progression is then Dsus2, G, Bm, A -drunkenmime029 \| 8/9/2003
excellent tabbing. one of the best i've found so far. most of the songs on this site or chords only. and a lot of those are wrong. love to see some actual tab. thanx. -dwm376s \| 3/10/2004
Just responded a sec ago, and now realized that it is a great tab and mostly correct except the 11-9 pulloff should be on the B string not the E. Probably a typo. -dwm376s \| 3/10/2004
Thanks for tabbin this out! I am no expert, just a novice, but it really is easier with the capo. Though, it's nice to know both ways. -Truthscape \| 4/20/2004
If a capo is not used then it is very likely they have tuned the guitar down a half step - a technique often used in blue grass. -singingmanscott \| 10/21/2004
good job on the tab, though it's a little bit easier to play if you capo4. only one thing I think sean does differently though.. in the intro, where you have pre>e---11--9--/pre> it should be: pre> e---6-4--- b---7-7--- /pre> not sure if that will come out right.. but you can get the idea. -ssmithm \| 2/23/2005
You clearly get the best effect and plays the easiest with capo on the first fret, played in D! I am sure that that is how Sean plays it -ukountree \| 4/4/2005
This is a horrible site. All you want is money. I wont ever come back here again. -matmcbrara \| 8/29/2005
This tab is really good! I'm still pretty new to playing tabs, but once you get the hang of it, it comes out nicey! Thanks! GSB -gsb \| 12/10/2008
