Corrections to existing TABS:

1)  Richard Cook´s TAB (in D, capo on 2nd fret) lists the chords of the
    bridge as:

    Dm         G
    She ... anywhere
    Dm         G     A
    I   ...    chair.

    which contains 2 errors. To be played in D the chords should be:

    Dm         G
    She ... anywhere
    Dm         Em7  A7
    I   ...    here

    Dm         G     A

    I   ...    chair.



    which contains 2 errors. To be played in D the chords should be:



    Dm         G

    She ... anywhere

    Dm         Em7  A7

    I   ...    chair.

2)  Robert Hall´s TAB (in E) lists the chords of the bridge as:

    Am         D
    She ... anywhere
    Am         D     F#
    I   ...    chair ---> verse (E riff above)

    which are in the wrong key.  To be played in E the chords should be:

    Em         A
    She ... anywhere
    Em         Fm7   B7
    I   ...    chair.
