HEy everyone I Am 100% sure that the tabs below are exactly correct;
dont be intimidated by just the first line cuz there are instructions on how
to play almost each line and what position to put your fingers in. It's a
pretty easy song just takes a while to learn.
NOTICE: MOST OF THIS SONG IS MADE UP OF BROKEN CHORDS and i put little
drawings and
instructions of where to put your fingers and stuff
ALSO THIS SONG IS PLAYED BY FINGER-PICKING EACH NOTE IN A SLOW BUT STEADY
RhYThm
THE PLUCKING PATTERN FOR THIS SONG IS EXACTLY AS FOLLOWs
1.pluck either the 6th or 5th string with ur thumb (which is the E that
sounds really mellow or the A string that sounds a little mellow as well)
and then that is followed by plucking the G string (lol) with ur middle
finger immediatley followed by the plucking of the B and E(the e that sounds
really high pitched) strings with only ur index finger. U Do the part where u
pluck the G, B, and, E strings twice. U'll
see thats the pattern in the tabulature
THE TUNNING for this song is standard
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

This part is very easy as well all u do is
play the first 3 lines of the verse like the
following:
E--------0-----0-------------------------------------------------
B------2-----2---------------------------------------------------
G----4-----4-----------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A--0-------------------------------------------------------------

E--------0------0------------------------------------------------
B------0------0--------------------------------------------------
G----4------4----------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E--3-------------------------------------------------------------
But then after that all u do is play the following
E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G--1--------------Strum these gently with your thumb all together
D--2-------------------------------------------------------------
A--0-------------------------------------------------------------
E--0-------------------------------------------------------------
E--0-------------------------------------------------------------
B--2-------------------------------------------------------------
G--1---Strum this with your thumb immediately after the line above, but
D--2-----------------also strum it gently and slowly
A--0-------------------------------------------------------------

The order of the song is self explanitory like The intro goes first then the
verse,etc. But repeat the verse twice where needed and at the end just play
the
ending part.
