hey this is my first time putting up a tab, it's not officially mine, i got
 it annonymously. iv been trying to find this for years, i have it, i can
 play it. i think it should be shared more freely seeing as its not up on
 here. beautiful song, i couldnt recomend it enough, its not the same on
 just an acoustic but the lyrics are to good to care, maybe you can make it
 sound better than me. enjoy this wonderfull song...
