HEy everyone I Am 100% sure that the tabs below are exactly correct; dont be intimidated by just the first line cuz there are instructions on how to play almost each line and what position to put your fingers in. It's a pretty easy song just takes a while to learn. NOTICE: MOST OF THIS SONG IS MADE UP OF BROKEN CHORDS and i put little drawings and instructions of where to put your fingers and stuff ALSO THIS SONG IS PLAYED BY FINGER-PICKING EACH NOTE IN A SLOW BUT STEADY RhYThm THE PLUCKING PATTERN FOR THIS SONG IS EXACTLY AS FOLLOWs 1.pluck either the 6th or 5th string with ur thumb (which is the E that sounds really mellow or the A string that sounds a little mellow as well) and then that is followed by plucking the G string (lol) with ur middle finger immediatley followed by the plucking of the B and E(the e that sounds really high pitched) strings with only ur index finger. U Do the part where u pluck the G, B, and, E strings twice. U'll see thats the pattern in the tabulature THE TUNNING for this song is standard ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) (intro) FOr the first two lines the EASIEsT WAY to pluck this is just by putting your fingers in the broken chord position which is pictured below EADGBE 42 The 2's and 4's represent what fret to put your finger on JUST KEEP THAT FINGER POSITION AND PLUCK the 1st 2 lines u see below

D---------------------------------------------------------------- A--0------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- ALRIGHT NOw for the NEXT 2 lines the easiest way to pluck it is by putting your fingers in another broken chord position which is pictured below EADGBE 4 4 Keep this position and play the next 2 lines E--------0-----0------------------------------------------------- B------0-----0--------------------------------------------------- G----4-----4-----------------------------------------------------

then move onto the next line EADGBE 232 ALRIGHT once u've got that move onto the next line E--------4----4-------------------------------------------------- B------5----5---------------------------------------------------- G----6----6------------------------------------------------------ D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E--4------------------------------------------------------------- You'll see that its easier to put your fingers and play the tabs above in the C#M position for the line above (which is pictured below) (BAR THE ENTIRE 4th Fret) EADGBE 444444 65 (after you've got that then move to the next line) E--------2-----2------------------------------------------------- B------2-----2--------------------------------------------------- G----3-----3----------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E--2------------------------------------------------------------- You'll see that it is easier to put your fingers and play the tabs above in the broken chord position which is pictured below (BAR THE ENTIRE SECOND FRET) EADGBE 222222 3 Once you've got that move onto the next line E--------2----2-------------------------------------------------- B------3----3---------------------------------------------------- G----4----4------------------------------------------------------ D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E--2------------------------------------------------------------- For this line you'll also see that its easier to put your fingers and play the tab above in yet another broken chord position which is pictured below (Bar the ENTIRE 2nd fret) EADGBE 222222 43 Once you've got that then move onto the next line E------------0--------------------------------------------------- B----------0---------Put your fingers in the e7 position and pluck G--------1-----------each note individually with your thumb slowly and D------0-------------gently A----2----------------------------------------------------------- E--0------------------------------------------------------------- In case you forgot below is the e7 position EADGBE 020100 THERE!!! THATS THE END OF THE CHORUS OKAY NOW ALL THATS LEFT IS THE ENDING PART (ENDING PART) This part is very easy as well all u do is play the first 3 lines of the verse like the following: E--------0-----0------------------------------------------------- B------2-----2--------------------------------------------------- G----4-----4----------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A--0------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- E--------0-----0------------------------------------------------- B------0-----0--------------------------------------------------- G----4-----4----------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E--4------------------------------------------------------------- E--------0------0------------------------------------------------ B------0------0-------------------------------------------------- G----4------4---------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E--3------------------------------------------------------------- But then after that all u do is play the following E---------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G--1--------------Strum these gently with your thumb all together D--2------------------------------------------------------------- A--0------------------------------------------------------------- E--0------------------------------------------------------------- E--0------------------------------------------------------------- B--2------------------------------------------------------------- G--1---Strum this with your thumb immediately after the line above, but D--2-----------------also strum it gently and slowly A--0------------------------------------------------------------- E--0------------------------------------------------------------- The order of the song is self explanitory like The intro goes first then the verse,etc. But repeat the verse twice where needed and at the end just play the ending part. I did this tab cuz i wanted to give back to the site that has taught me a LOT of music by various artists and i wanted to give back to it with this song. THANX A LOT ultimate-guitar.com!!! JOHN
