  24 <p>The notes within parentheses in the tab below aren't really pull-offs,
  25 they are just the audible removal of the first finger from the third
  26 string in the chord change (which is as close to a pull-off as you can
  27 get). The easiest way to play it is to disregard them, and just finger
  28 the chords as indicated above the systems.<br />
  29 The song can be strummed to the chords that are implied in the
  30 tab. Since the 5th string is never played in the finger-picked
  31 version, there is no way to decide whether an Esus4 or an A9 is
  32 implied. I've made a suggestion, but do as you wish.</p>
