Transcribed by Iain Sword


All guitars tuned down one full step to:

to get an idea of exactly how the finger picking should
be played.

The strumming here is not quite right on the G chord but listen to the
recording and you'll soon get it right.

Back to repeat first half of intro,

Then repeat verse,

||---------------||	This repeats the whole way through
||---------------||	the solo which unfortunately I can't
||*-------------*|| play yet.
||*----5-5-5-3-3*||
||-3/5-5-5-5-3-3-||
||-1/3-3-3-3-1-1-||

Finally play one last verse but finish on:

Well there it is, it's a little rough in places but you should be able to
work out the whole song from here. Hope you enjoy, it really is a great
song. If you have any comments or queries please mail me at:
<97118117@student.napier.ac.uk> I would also be very grateful if someone
would either post on the OLGA or mail me the solo.

Have Fun !!!
