Key:
In the song, there may be slight variations to the picking pattern here and there, but this tab is quite accurate. I know this tab may look daunting but it's really not that difficult. Get familiar with the hand positions first and the rest will be easier. I also recommend learning this on an electric first, unless you want cramps in your fret hand. I'm positive there are no mistakes but if you think otherwise you can e-mail me at *. __________________________________________________ Tabbed by Ben Heung _________________ HAND POSITIONS | | Intro:
