Queen Of California Acoustic Tab

Hi Guys!

I got fed up of waiting for someone to tab THIS version of THIS song, so I just did it myself!

This is the acoustic Vevo sessions version that can be found here: 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chLFi2cFxzo

Some bits in this sound pretty close and I'm sure it's what he's playing. There are a
couple of sections however where I genuinely can't hear what
John is playing as his voice is drowning it out.

So I have filled those sections in the best I can but they're probably not 100% 
accurate in all honesty.

Also, don't think I have repeated the same sections for no reason! Some parts have TINY
differences and if I picked them up I added them in, so
look out for them, because if you're rushing through you might miss them!

I would suggest that learning the technique used in 'Age of Worry' will really help you
to pick up and learn most parts of this song a lot easier
and a lot quicker.

And if you can think of anything better to play, or you hear something different that I
don't then leave a comment below and play it how you
think it should be played.

Other than that I think the rest of this tab is pretty accurate! Enjoy!
