Here's what I got from playing it along with the game music. Unlike most of the other 
for this song here, this one is a guitar tab, and is more widely available for everyone.

However, be warned: this is a difficult tab to master, though it doesn't seem like it at 
Took me about 3 months to master.

Verse 3

So far, and away, see the bird as it flies by
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky.
I've laid all my memories and dreams upon those wings,
Leave them now, and see what, tomorrow brings.

In your dearest memories,
Do you remember loving me?
Was it fate, that brought us close,
And now leaves, me behind?

That's it. There's more to it, but I've been unable to transfer it onto guitar yet, but 
keep trying. Email me if there are any problems with this tab.
