NOTE:
For those of you still reading the last comment which was back in 2009 and had a rating
back then of 4 stars please note that I HAVE MADE CORRECTIONS TO THE ORIGINAL TAB I HAD
a while ago and to me sounds perfect now... However, once the ratings came in and went
to 4 stars it is extremely hard to get it back up to a 5 star rating... MOST EVERYONE
NOW RATES IT 5 STARS but there are still a few that just follow the rating previously
given which was 4 stars instead of 5. Please take this all into consideration as you
rate this tab now... Please compare this chord tab to all the other chord tabs of this
song and you will see that this one in my opinion is the easiest to put on auto scroll
to follow and the most accurate in spite of the rating.
Thank you
