That's it, I love this song, but couldn't find a tab 100% accurate, so I made my own.
You might that listen in the chorus should be another chord, I think the bass does it,
if u know a better way to play it feel free to comment.
Any comment or question mail me: 'j053montenegro@yahoo.es' (it's a zero in j053)
or 'free_at_last777@hotmail.com'. I hope you enjoy it …and you should 'look at the stars
4 a.m. anticipating… the night is nearly over, the day is almost here…' at least that's
Jon says, but remember that redemption is part of your salvation.
GOD bl3s5 U.
