I have yet to find a satisfactory version of this song (most are highly
 inaccurate,
kudos to Garymow1, whose tab is the most accurate I have found, it 
saved me a good
deal of time in lifting the song from the recording).

Key: Cm
Tempo: ---- = 144
Capol 3 (all notes and chords relative to capol)

A NOTE ABOUT SUSPENDED CHORDS:  First, the theory (skip this if you 
wish):

Suspended chords are perhaps the most poorly understood chords in the 
modern repertoire.
This is because a suspension is not technically a chord, but rather a 
melodic ornament;
we, as guitarists, only refer to them as chords for the sake of 
simplicity.  Technically,
 a suspension is a note found in a previous chord that is "suspended" 
or "sustained" (the
other name for these types of chords), that is, held over onto the next
 chord, even though
these notes are not part of the following chord, and eventually moving 
that note to the
nearest note in the chord.
For example, a D note found in a G chord held over into a C chord, even
 though the D note
is not normally found in the C chord, is called a 2-1 suspension (or a 
9-8 suspension),
and so the C chord becomes a Csus2 (or Csus9).  Typically, the note 
carried into a new
chord is the fourth note above the name of the chord (top and bottom 
inclusive), which
is called a 4-3 suspension, or a "sus4" chord.  Because this is the 
most common type of
suspension, chords listed just as "sus" are often interpreted to mean 
"sus4".  However,
there are many types of suspensions, because many notes can be carried 
over to the
following chords.  A better definition of a suspended chord is to play 
all or part of the
seventh chord one whole step (two frets) below the root (i.e. the name)
 of the chord, while
also playing the root of the chord and any other notes in the chord 
that do not clash.
It is often said that in a "sus4" chord, the 4 note replaces the 3 note
 found in the
typical chord (for example, in a Csus4, the F note would replace the E 
Página 8 / 10
note normally
found in a C chord).  In fact, this is only partly true: the 4 note 
should replace the
closest 3 note to it, but not neccesarily all 3 notes (i.e., there are 
two E notes
normally found in the typical C major shape, the F should replace the 
nearest E, but
may or may not replace the other E, at the musician's discretion).  
Eventually, the 4 note
will descend to become the 3 note (the F will drop to become the E that
 it has replaced).
This is called resolution, and traditionally almost always goes down, 
though in some
cases (paticularly "sus2" chords), it is becoming more common to 
resolve upwards.
The Csus (Ebsus) used here is actually a "sus4/2", and the E7sus 
(G7sus) is actually
a "sus4/b6" (though in the root position chords, the Ebsus provided is 
only a "sus4",
since Ebsus4/2 is a very difficult chord).

THE POINT:  Suspensions are melodic figures, and they need to resolve. 
 That means that
when a "sus" chord is indicated for a given duration, the "sus" chord 
should be played only
for part of that duration (typically half), then the regular chord with
 the same root
should be played to finish the measure, before moving on.  This chord 
change may not be
indicated (as in the case here), but is almost always preferable to 
staying on the "sus".
