I take entire credit for this tab...if you find something like it elsewhere, it\'s purely coincidence.
I Spent a while tabbing this, and it\'s my first tab. Hope it\'s good!
You really have to listen to the timing, especially at the beginning and at the end.
That end part can really catch you on the timing, so listen to the song and work it out.

Nice tab. The biggest problem I could find was D|-------7-----9---| A|-------7-----9---| E|-----0-5---0-7---| should be D|-------6-----8---| A|-------6-----8---| E|-----0-4---0-6---| Apart from that, great tab.
