#----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------## WARNING: this tab is for open G tuning (my favorite) with the capo on the third fret, to subsequently give open Bflat tuning i also tabbed it in standard form (so a 3 actually isn't a 3, but a 6) just to cause more difficulty :) this is also from memory, so please bear with me.........
