Note: I like this song very much but I haven't found a good tab for this song so I was
it unbidden in this way. This is my first tab, hope you like it. If it's not correct or
found some mistakes please write to me (dana4@freemail.hu). I think tuning is better
your tuner calibrated on 438Hz but you can play it in standard tuning, of course. Thanks
John.
