This score by: Bill Dunn
I promise you that this is it. My version, and im totally sticking to it! I
know the last one i had was impossible to play, but using an alternate tuning
i figured out that there is a way easier and more accurate way to play this
song. Try this out and you might take a liking to this new tuning. I even
wrote a few songs of my own using it. Well that's pretty much all i have to say
so enjoy this final cut. By the way, the end hard part is played with the
exact same tab numbers in my last version, so if you want to know, look in my old
entry.
