 Offset from concert pitch (A 440). Spread: the middle half of the songs, when four or more share the album's pitch. Confidence: how well the notes agree with one grid.

Before we measured, sources said: E Standard, with no pitch given (community).

Produced by Gil Norton again, mixing loud singles with acoustic songs and a piano ballad. Every main tab is in E Standard, The Pretender included.

    The most-viewed tab raises the top string a whole step to F♯ for the acoustic part; a tab of the album version stays in E Standard, which is what the button opens.
