**WHEW! That was my first tab ever! I admit my guitar instructor helped me a bit…
but hey! That means its right :P It sounds pretty damn good when played against
the real song…yay! The transitions between chords aren't perfect, so listen to
the song to get them exactly…my ear is still in training :) Thanx, please feel
