My (Clinton Sprain's) Tab.
I noticed some other people put some tab up. It was alright, but kind of
difficult for a novice like myself to play. I tabbed it so it was a little
more clear to read, and a bit easier to play. Tune your guitar to D to play
it on CD (i.e. B-minor), or you can just play in standard E tuning as is, in
C# minor.
For those of you who want to look up chords to go along with my tab, you'll
have to use the conversions, unless your guitar is not in D but the other
guitarist in the room (the one using my tab) is. (Catch all that?) So, if
you're in D, and you want to play more elaborate chords, you'll need to
convert. Got it?
Anyways, I'm going to insult your intelligence now:
B minor is fingered like C#/Db minor
D becomes E
E minor => F#/Gb minor
A => B
G => A
Okay then. Onto the tab.

I______ hurt myself today to see if I still feel
I____ focus on the pain the only thing that's
real_____ the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting

Alternative D and/or Emin measures, if it's just a little too difficult
to play well(like for me)
