This is my first try tabbing this GREAT song. Comments, additions,
corrections, better tabs, everything is very welcome. Please mail them
to me. [and qualitytabs ;)]
The `+' above the tab represents the beat; `~~~' indicates the length
of a sustained note (so it is not a vibrato-sign!)
N.C. means 'no chord', don't play anything.
Guitar 1 (overdriven) plays the chords that are indicated above the
lyrics in the tab. An `x' means a scratch.
Guitar 2 plays the tab. It is a clean guitar, with tremolo. Maybe the
tab for guitar 2 is an octave too high, I'm not sure.
OK, here we go.
VERSE 1:
--------
N.C.
I want you to know that I'm happy for you.
I wish nothing but the best for you both.
