Helpful comments are appreciated. Believe it or not this is my first tab. I know this
forwards and backwards. I've been wanting to put this tab out for awhile now. I haven't
a good version of this song tabbed in standard tuning, and I know how much it sucks 
the guitar. So now you don't have to :-) By the way, this isn't "exactly" what Daniel
but it sounds no different.
