With a couple additions, corrections, like the intro riff, a few lyric corrections, etc. This is really a good song, made me cry the first time I heard it. It's also a really good song to play for a girlfriend (I'm serious). I played it for mine and she cried too. Okay enough with the sentimental crap on with the tab. Capo: Placed on 3rd fret. Intro: First the chords come in which are. D, A, and G. Then that really cool riff as follows.
