Notes on the Tab:

*For the sake of time, I didn't really lable the chords and just named them by the base,
in the diagrams, that is how I play them, and they are always played in that order.
*The notes in (x) are ones that I decide to play on whims to mix it up a little since it
a long song.
*Obviously this is a much simplified way of playing the song, and even more so, it is my
of playing the song, so change the chord figerings and plunkings to whatever you want.
**This song is meant for a piano, yet this tab is for a guitar.
**This tab is really just because I like playing the song, yet can't play piano.


Listening to the song should help you get the strumming.
