The tuning is actually DGDGAD, not Open G (DGDGBD) as Bruce states. I
have used his tab as a template and there are, therefore, obvious
similarities and Sections 3 and 4 are virtually the same except that I
have changed a few notes. I wasn't as fussy about some of the
technicalities as Bruce was, as I expect most people learn a track using
the recording anyway, so some of the structure may be wrong, but I am
fairly sure all the notes are correct.
 
My thanks to Bruce for his original attempt six years ago!

h = hammer-on                p = pull-off
/ = slide to note
