Great analysis and alternate progression here:

i second that. pretty please?
i wasn’t trying to rain on your parade or anything, i would really appreciate a little fixing up sense i can’t get it right i would really really really appreciate it if you could *puppy eyes*
yeah i know there are some problems with it. you have to understand that it was tabbed back when all we had of this song was one bad quality live recording.
Hey, that opening progression definetly is not right, there is something a little bit funky with this tab, but i dont know how to fix it
