Here is a no capo version. Its the same key as the previous tab, just an octave lower.
This is just how I play it and is open to interpretation. Listen to the song to decide
where you want to finger pick and/or strum. Each verse is 8 measures, 1 chord per 
measure = 8 chords per verse. That's just how I remember the rhythm.

Standard tuning

Intro/verse picking pattern:

                      CThe (x32010@1)hardest part is through



The C F G G progression at the end also sounds okay as C F G Cbarre, but I like the
sound of C F G G on a solo guitar better. Whatever suits your fancy.
Thanks for reading!
