Nightwish - I Want My Tears Back

NOTE:: This isn't completely accurate with the bass guitar in the 
song. I wrote it for acoustic, and in some cases made a bit of a 
"judgement call" on which chords fit best with the song. Some of the 
chord progressions are a little tough in terms of switching back and 
forth - feel free to simplify as needed.

NOTENOTE:: In solos, when I have two chords and one says (s) next to 
it (for single-strum), it generally means the first chord (or second, 
as the case may be) gets three beats and the single-strum one gets 
one.
