AWESOME! Love your tabs. Any shot you could post an XTC song (maybe Dear God)? Cuz all the other stuff I could ever want has been tabbed by you!

I think you should put an Amin chord in there. And the Cmaj is kinda too happy sounding

I've used other tabs for this song that sounded much more accurate but this one still made some sense..

really good tab. I think that the C major chord that your using may make it a little bit to bright sounding in the verses but words in the chorus. I think a Cmaj7 makes it sounds a lot better.
