It may not be 100% accurate, but I bet it's I hope you enjoy it, it took me 25-30 hours to figure out, literally, and 2-3 to transcribe. Please listen to the recording to get the proper feel for the timing. r=release Intro: E---------------------------------|-x-----------7-9---12-9-----------------| B---------------------------------|-x-------5/9------------9-------9-------| G---------------------------------|-x---4-6------------------9-------9h----| D---------------------------------|-2/6------------------------------------| A---------------------------------|-2--------------------------------------| E---------------------------------|-0--------------------------------------| E--------------------x-----------7-9---12-9--------------------------------| B--------------------x-------5/9------------9-------9----------------------| G---11p9-9-----------x---4-6------------------9-------9h11p9-9-------------| D--------------------2/6---------------------------------------------------| A--------------------2-----------------------------------------------------| E--------------------0-----------------------------------------------------| V ^ ^ v ^ v..... let ring....
