Must give credit to polarizh whose tabs I originally started working from. I
changed a lot to what I think sounds more fitting for translating this song to 
guitar (namely acoustic guitar). These are my first tabs and I hope some of you 
out there find it helpful!

Note: The bridge can be played with just C but I think it's more interesting to 
have another chord in there. Also, novice players can just play C and G instead of 
Cadd9 and Gsus4 if you must.
Thanks!
