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 donâ^À^Ùt 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 
â^À^Ühorribly wrong with meâ^À^Ý, 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. (Youâ^À^Ùre 
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 youâ^À^Ùre the one who claims to care.
                        A            D,Gsus2,D

Next verses are the beginning again. The line 
ending â^À^Üin my sorry way I love youâ^À^Ý it ends on 
D, Gsus2, D again. Then itâ^À^Ùs the beginning 
progression again, however, for â^À^Üevil people
Prosper over the likes of you and me alwaysâ^À^Ý 
you use the sliding G to A technique. Then it 
repeats the â^À^Ügod come downâ^À^Ý (bridge) part and then 
back to the beginning forâ^À^ÜLittle Lamb, on a hillâ^À^Ý.

For the last part, â^À^Üyouâ^À^Ùre just like me, just like meâ^À^Ý
Itâ^À^Ùs 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.
