Can't Do Right For Doing Wrong TAB

[getting_it_sucks]

Would anyone be a kind soul and TAB this out for me? If so, I will shower you with riches. Well, not really. But I will be happy

[VladDracii]

Well I'm at work at the moment (working hard as ever, clearly) so can't really transcribe it...

BUT

all I know is it starts with an open E string, then Emajor chord (in flats, of course) and the first fret of the G string moves to 2, then back to one

Yeah that probably didnt make any sense, I'll post it properly when I get home, If I'm not having a few drinks...

[getting_it_sucks]

Cheers! I've started learning it already.

Take your time, im not really in a rush to learn it but I just love that song!

[Ean]

This isn't one of mine, and I don't think I've ever played it through, so I don't know how accurate it is :-

Cheers Ean I am now a happy man!

We look forward to your addition to the tribute album.
