Ok, this is my first tab - Yes I Am Blind by Morrissey off the album Bona Drag. A Capo is used on the 4th fret. The song starts in b minor formation which when played with a capo on the 4th fret is actually an E flat minor. However, I will name chords as if they were actually being played without a capo.

1st  Verse (1st 2 bars don?^?^?t use low E string)

Yes,

The good things, Just the bad things,
A major

Oh oh ,              Oh oh
D   E minor             C major (picked), D

Then back to the start.  After the next verse ending
?^?^?horribly wrong with me?^?^?, It stays on D
and you play a Gsus2 which is a D with your pinky
down on the high E string 3rd fret. Back to D. Then
it repeats the first verse (without words), but
picked and when it gets the the A major, a second
guitar or you can just fill in with this sliding up
2 frets from G to A. This sliding is done during
three parts of the song, mostly at the end. (You?^?^?re
just like me) This is the formation:


:---------|---------|----x----|---------|---------|
:---------|---------|----x----|---------|---------|
:---------|---------|---------|----x----|---------|
:---------|---------|---------|---------|-----x---|
:---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|

G sliding up each finger 2 frets to make an A

Then the D, E minor, A and then the BRIDGE - an F#
Power chord. (just the 3 low strings)

The F# marks the change, and follows with a Bmin.

God come down, if youre really there
B min                          E minor

When you?^?^?re the one who claims to care.
                        A            D,Gsus2,D

Next verses are the beginning again. The line
ending ?^?^?in my sorry way I love you?^?^? it ends on
D, Gsus2, D again. Then it?^?^?s the beginning
progression again, however, for ?^?^?evil people
Prosper over the likes of you and me always?^?^?
you use the sliding G to A technique. Then it
repeats the ?^?^?god come down?^?^? (bridge) part and then
back to the beginning for?^?^?Little Lamb, on a hill?^?^?.

For the last part, ?^?^?you?^?^?re just like me, just like me?^?^?
It?^?^?s A major and/or sliding the G to A.
Then the D to E minor which really signifies this song.
Then it goes from C major to G back to A over and over, and fades out.

If you know the song well and have a good ear, this is simple and accurate.
