Artist: INXS
Song Name: Afterglow
Album: Switch (2005)
Tabbed in march 2006

Standard tuning

This is a great song to listen to -- even more fun to
play on the guitar. I learned most of the chords from 
the INXS fanclub Podcast where JD sings it accompanied 
with only an acoustic guitar, so I'm sure this is 99% 
correct (it's much harder to tab from the album version 
where the guitar is hidden behind the strings). 

It's in the key of F# I believe. But whenever I see so 
many sharpened chords, I suspect a capo was used. 
If all the sharpened barre chords make your hand sore, 
place a capo on the first fret, and lower each chord a 
semi-tone, so C# become the easy-to-form C chord, F# 
becomes F, A# becomes A, etc. That way you still 
can play along with the album in key without the 
trouble of the barre chords.
