Tuning: E A D G B E
Version notes: Checked from the sheet music. Bridge 2 and ending are approximations of the recorded version
as they are not transcribed in the sheet music (correctly).
Edit: For some strange reason Cb chords convert to C and only in edit mode Cb is visible.
Although Cb would be correct enharmonically I have changed them into B chords here.
