Tabbed by Wes (DGER)
Drop D Tuning

Kay, I've been playing this song for awhile now, thought I'd tab it
since it isn't up in full.  I don't have all the piano parts down
however I do have the violin over the piano for the most part.  So if someone wants
to tab out the piano part, and post it in the corrects box
I will gladly update the tab and credit you for it.  But
I don't care either way, because I'll eventually have
it up myself.  Enjoy.  Listen to the song for timing,
strum pattern and that shiz. The lead & rhythm are not 
necessarily tabbed together at perfect timing.

The connected bar means two guitars are playing whats 
tabbed at the same time. (or a guitar & violin, whatever)
Listen to the song VERY carefully.

SEPT/06/04- I've added the Violin in the prechorus.

That's all the violin I could be bothered with.  Maybe
if the tab gets positive response I'll do the rest.

The addition to the chorus at the end is simple.
Just keep strumming until the song ends.

That's pretty much it.  I'm guessing it's not 100% pefect
but I think it's decent.  Better than anything I could find online, anywhere.
Feel free to correct me or whatever if I'm wrong.

Thanks and enjoy.
