I noticed a lot of mistakes in my first tab for this song so 
I thought I'd give it another go.

I listed all the chords fingerings I use at the bottom of the 
page; I use (alt) and (high) to indicate when I play the chord in 
a different position (Once again, see the bottom of the page).

Fantastic Song, have fun playing it!
