Additional tips

Opening touch A-string 0–1 leads into the first Bm strum, whose A-string root is fret 2. Play four sounding Bm strokes and two light muted strokes in the shown one-bar cell; repeat ×4.

Cover feel The tab starts its count at the pickup so the whole repeating cell reads left to right. The source barline falls one beat later, at the first Bm strum. Keep G and C#m clipped in the main cycle.

Scale + notes For a suggested lead, start with B natural minor: B C# D E F# G A. Aim at B or D over Bm and G or B over G. Over C#m, target C#, E or G#.

Dominant turn C#m and bridge E use G#, outside B natural minor; F#7 uses A#. Bring in those notes over their chords, then resolve A# upward to B.
