I want to thank Eamonn for his fantastic tab of Cherry Wine. It helped me a lot in making my own. I just felt
that a few of the notes were off and missing, and that I could add them, as well as clean everything up a bit
 
I've labeled all of the 16th notes and triplets because if I were to tab the entire song in 16th notes it
would take up ton of space for nothing, and its already a big tab. I hope it's clear as per the legend
 
LEGEND:
 _2  |   _4_   |   _3_   |   __3__   |
|¯|  |  |¯|¯|  |  |¯|¯|  |  |  |  |  |
1 e  |  1 e +  |  1 e a  |  1  +  a  |
                  ^triplet  ^triplet
 
If it is still unclear, listen to the piece to hear how fast the notes are played.
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

Love this tab! The first one was good enough, but you really captured the nuisances of the piece that help flesh it out. My playing actually sounds like the recording now haha, thanks!
