would credit the person who did it but they were not registered. I 
used their tab making of this and it was very helpfull. As there was no 
name I have included the original tab at the bottom of this tab as some 
sort of credit.

I have tabbed a simple version of the song mainly chords. I think it's 
pretty accurate. I have tried to tab rhythm but forgive me if it's not 
spot on. You can figure it out easy enough.

If you could step into my head... 
and if you woke up in my bed...


Here there are 2 ways of playing it. Pick the melody or just play the 
chords. The chords are right and i think the melody sounds right.

D|------555---------999-------|  
A|------333---------777-------|  
E|------333---------777-------|

There you have it! Bear in mind this is my first tab so there are certainly 
improvised but you get the idea. If anyone has any improvements for it 
please let me know. Thanks again for the previous tabs.

This is the Tab....the first one i sent was totally wrong because i missed  
the G string(whoops), but this one is correct  I figured since there were no  
other tabs done for this song, that I would give it a try.  This tab is very  
accurate, I'm still trying to figure out the verses and chorus, but the 
intro is pretty damn cool itself!
