p = Pull-off note   h = Hammer-on note  

CAPO: 3rd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of F) 

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
   = xx0232     = x02230       = x24432
   = 022100         = x02220        = 320033
 = 022030     = x02200     = 2x0033
                                     = 022000

In an alternative live 1984 version Lou performs his song in the
key of G  (which is whole tone higher than the original
studio version which was in F)

Link to this live performance video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFbgAxxVh1E

...here he has a progression of G-A7-Am7-Am-Dsus4-D-Dsus2-D-Dsus2-D
Note that Lou substitutes an A7th chord (x02223) in the verses,
and has a subtle resolve to Am from the Am7, you can view the
rest of the chords by using the transpose function at the bottom
of the page, and setting it to +5 to view the chords in the key of G 

Please take a second to just scroll down to the bottom of the page
and select a star rating for my tab, it would be much appreciated.
