Again, like the person before me, I looked at the other tabs for this song and am
offering some perfectionist improvements, as this song can sound amazing and
professional if you add in some other parts.
I worked from the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg0UsO5SFb8
Standard tuning, no capo. Is in 6/4 time.

it, so listen to the song and perhaps you can work out what i meant!!
