the slide bit just goes from fret 2 to 5 to 12 to 7.
But here's how Jeffrey does it when in Japan (not using a slide).
*Intro (Live & Acoustic in Japan):
D ---2---2-4-5--->5---7^5-|--7>9---9--9-----7---
B ---2---2------->5---5---|--5>7---7--8^7---7---
G ---2---2------->5-------|--5>7---7--------7---
D ---2---2------->5-------|--5>7---7--------7---
G ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|---------------------
D ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|---------------------
1st & 3rd times
D ---2---2-4-5--->5---7^5-|--5>12--7-------- 2nd time
B ---2---2------->5---5---|--5>12--7--------
G ---2---2------->5-------|--5>12--7--------
D ---2---2------->5-------|--5>12--7--------
G ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|-----------------
D ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|-----------------
then finish on.......and move into this
D ------0-|--0-- || ---0---0---0---0--|--

B --------|---0------------ Dsus/D thing as
G -----0--|---0------------ tabbed above.
D -----5--|---0--------------
G -----6--|---4---------------
D -----7--|---5--------------
*Verse:
From Dsus/D into the descending bit ("hate to see the love...")
D ---0--0--|-0----|--0-|--0-|---|---|--0---0--|-----
B ---0--0--|-0----|--0-|--X-|-0-|-0-|--0---X--|-----

G ---7--6--|-0--0-|--4-|-11-|-6-|-4-|-12--11--|-----
D ---9--7--|-2--4-|--5-|--0-|-7-|-5-|--0---0--|-----
2nd time, reverse Em (2/0/2/0) and the G (5/4/5/0).
tricky "what are they?" chords
D ----(3)--|-(3)---3-------
B ----(6)--|-(6)---6-------
G -----5---|--5----3-------
D -----3---|--3----3-------
G -----5---|--5----3-------
D -----0---|--0----3-------
For "kiss me please kiss me", back to the barre chords
D ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----"I'd only make you cry..."
B ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||---------------|--------------
G ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----0----------|-------------0
D ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----5----------|-------------0
G ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----6----------|-------------4
D ------------|------------||----7----------|-------------5
*Middle 8:
Dsus/D until:
Bm/A/G/A/Bm/A/Em/A/Bm/A/G
"Did you say no this can't happen....", where I've
-consistent F# high note which seems to be in every
chord in this section (except the last 4).
D ----0---0--|--0---X--||---2--|-0--|-0--|-0---------------
B ----7---7--|--7---7--||---0--|-1--|-5--|-0---------------

G ----7---X--|--6---0--||---0--|-2--|-5--|-4---------------
D ----0---9--|--7---5--||---2--|-X--|----|-5---------------
Then part 2 of the intro, twice, then Dsus/D, then climax
("bells of the churchtower...so hard
on her soft eyes...")
D----------------------------------------------------------
B---8---7---5---7----5---7---8---10------- each chord here
G---9---7---6---7----5---7---9---11------- is pretty much -
D---0---0---0---0----0---0---0----0------- equal to one bar
G---9---7---6---7----5---7---9---11------- of music ---
D---0---0---0---0----X---0---0----0------------------------
then the tricky "what are they?" chords, then finish up on "o-o-o-over"
This is for normal people who couldn't be stuffed learning 50 new chord and tune down every time you want to play this song. The way Jeff plays it only sounds good with a band!!!!!, and so do some bits of this, Sing along - it will sound better. And remember... YOUR NOT JEFF BUCKLEY... so make it your own.
TIP - Paste this into notepad. ----------------------------------------------------------
You can play this bit if you like I usually start on Intro (1). just doesn't sound right without allot of delay!!
strum as fast as you can and slide between these.

Last goodbye tab
This is pretty well note for note with the acoustic version on the Live at Chicago dvd (thanks Josh), and very close to the version on Grace... Most of the words are lined up with the chords, but I haven't written all of the strumming in, so you'll have to rely on your own inspiration there ;) Enjoy, Brad
[Intro] - acoustic version, the normal version just has the slide on those frets, but instead of going to the open string, it goes to the 12th fret. Also the bass notes aren't played...

This is the violin bit that he plays on guitar live. It's hard to transcribe with the correct timing, but i've done my best. All the strings in this section that don't have any notes on them are played OPEN, it would be harder to read if i put all those zeros in.
