Right Hand Resting Position
 
My basic right hand resting position is with the thumb on the D string my first finger
on the G string my middle finger on the B string and my ring finger on the high E string
and in most cases those fingers play the strings that they rest on. The thumb also plays
the A string and Low E string. There will be many cases where a finger will play a note
it normally does not rest on so this is just a rule of thumb! (Ha! No pun intended)

Lyrics:
 
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
 
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
 
Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
 
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
 
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
 
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
 
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh. [x7]

This tab is perfect! Great for beginners, the other tab (version 1) is a bit harder. So I recommend this for beginners!
