Tuning: C# Standard
Author: Mike Smith (sublime56@hotmail.com)
A great acoustic ballad. This song really got to me and I saw that there
isn't a single tab out there on the internet, so I decided to mesh it out.
It's not too terribly hard.
I had this song tabbed in Standard before, but it's in C# Standard which
is C# F# B E g# c#, from top to bottom. I listened to the song over and
over again because it just didn't sound right in Standard, but this is
definitely correct now.
Notation Key:
^ - Upstroke Pick
v - Downstroke Pick
x - Muted String
p - Pull off
/ - Slide Up
\ - Slide Down
~ - Let ring
