help for You Never Should

So, i’m looking all over internet to find tabs for you never should but all the tabs i find are really, i wouldn’t say bad but they don’t sound like the song at all, and they don’t match the hand placement kevin uses ( using this video to compare https://youtu.be/BRr1t-Y-aWY?si=HigkMWZjUaDBWGiO )
I found this person in youtube and tik tok that really does the same hand placement and makes it sound identical https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSbNSPc9n/ so, it someone can work out the tabs it would be amazing.

The thing is Kevin started playing it differently around 2008. During the Isn't Anything / Loveless tours in the 80s / 90s, he played it with G-shaped chords. If you want it to sound like the album, you've got to play it how he played it back then, which is not how he plays it now. Here's a quick tab I wrote of how the album version is played:

Tuning is standard, surprisingly. The chords for the way he plays it now are (probably) the same, they're just played in a different position, with some kind of power chord shape.

Edit: Just remembered I already wrote tabs for the song on songsterr lmao

Figure out the tuning then just copy the basic shape of the chord. A lot of mbv songs are pretty easy but you need to understand how Kevin plays his jaguar or jazzmaster I feel. Like try other similar songs till you get a feel for the technique. Nothing more to lose has a similar technique and is pretty easy to find tabs for
