PLEASE RATE AND ENJOY :)

Tuning: Standard
CAPO ON 3rd- Tabs relative to capo.

MAIN GUITAR PATTERN: Might seem a bit hard to play at first, but I think
once you get the hang of playing the G on the E string in time, it starts
to flow quite nicely. I struggled for a few minutes to begin with. I
usually play with a pick, but for this song I think the pattern
complements finger picking slightly more, using the thumb to reach the 
2 bottom strings.

play twice:

This sequence repeats for all verses.

*The main melody can neearly be played on top of the chorus.. I think
  there's a bit of a tweak to it at the start line with the F, although
  I haven't noted it down because it's fairly hard to tab it exactly
  right. Maybe try it by ear.. Either way I think it sounds good enough
  in chords.

BRIDGE:
Am (x02210@1)        G (320003@1)   Cman (x32010@1)is only half himself

Am (x02210@1)        G (320003@1)          Che (x32010@1)tumbles on by luck or grace
F (133211@1)               Gfor (320003@1)man is ever a blind thing
