Like a Stone (acoustic) Guitar Tablature
This tab is perfect if you would like to play this song solo on an acoustic guitar (or electric, I guess).

The chords are all correct, I know for sure.  The verse is, of course, very different from the way Tom plays it.  But the real riff is unsuitable for playing solo on an acoustic guitar.  I created those chords from that riff.  The chorus and bridge chords actually are the same as Tom's, except that I made them full barre chords.  Tom usually plays just power chords, as he has an electric guitar with distortion.  If you would like, you can take off the higher notes of each chord for any reason, but I like to play full barre chords for the whole song.  As far as fret board placement and voicing, those chords are 100% correct (I watched many videos to make sure, I am a perfectionist).

I didn't put the solo, because I assume you don't want to even try it unplugged.  Play along with the song and listen for the changes.  Mix up the strumming pattern as you would like, as long as you stay on time it will sound great.

If you found this tab useful or not, please email me at [email protected], I appreciate any feedback.
