I noticed that no one had posted a transcription of Ingrid's new song, which I am a huge 
fan of.
Note that this song is originally a solo piano with some string accompaniment, but I 
think I found a suitable way to fingerpick it on a standard acoustic guitar.
It takes some quick movement, but isn't too difficult.
This is my first official tab, and though I think it's correct, the second part of the 
chorus is a bit of an approximation. Thanks!
