Okay, so this is the first song I've tabbed myself and I fear the
possibility thatit may turn out to be an epic failure as far as tabs are 
concerned. I really love this absolutely beautiful and brilliant song so 
much. I'm really just a singer, but I like to dabble in acoustic guitar 
to have something to sing over. I've been searching for this song for ages 
and I haven't been able to find a live video performance or a written tab 
for it. So in my desperation, I resorted to using my ear, hehe.
	
Corrections,criticisms and/or advice on tabbing is highly encouraged, though I 
would appreciate politeness! :-D 
This is my first time after all!
