~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Author's note:

G|--7  ... can be   G|--7  ... or   G|--7-|
D|--*  ... can be   D|--5  ... or   D|--7-|

... depending on your playing style (even though I believe 7-5 is the right one).  Just 
the G-string finger to the 7.

I tried to tab this in a way that it sounds the same as the real song but is also easy to play.
I think this tab can pass as the song as-is, but any and all corrections are appreciated.
