This is the slow version, not the reprise. I did this by ear, and it sounds pretty
to me...but please email me if you have any comments, suggestions, or corrections.
I
like to note that in the soundtrack...I think there are two guitars playing...but I have
this for solo play. If you found this tab useful...please drop me a note to
me know that my efforts weren't wasted.
I do not recommend trying this with a pick...it's a fingerpicking song. Also, I have
written a tab before so my sense of timing through the lines is horrible...if you are
as to how fast the song should be, listen to the soundtrack or email me and I can send
audio of me playing the song exactly as written here. Enjoy.
