Hello. This is a great tab. John Mayer plays the chorus this way: xx023x, x0223x, 3x003x,,, xx023x, x0223x, 02203x0, then, x33211,x33011,x33211,x32010, etc. Hope this helps

hey a hammer-on is when you have a finger on a single string and you hit the same string with a different finger on a different fret usually one over....for the guy who asked what a hammer-on was.

the tab looks good, but can someone (hint to the people that say they have the tab) post the fingerpicking pattern for the verse that starts, "I rent a room and I fill the spaces with wood in places..."

thanks, much appreciated

i find it interesting why the guy who made the last commen, who apparently has the real shet music, spends his time looking at guitar tabs on the internet. Maybe he can't read notes or something. This is th ebest tab i ve found by far but some of the some during the bridge is missing i think
