This is in response to the Dear Prudence Tab request. Please note that
the lowest string is tuned to a D, and that the tablature refers to what
strings should be played, not the order. To finger-style pick this
properly use this order:

E |2-------------
B |--------3-----
G |----2---------
D |--0--------0--
A |0-------------
D |------0------- (using D chord below)
