Sorrow Chords

   
This is my interpretation of this gorgeous, heartbreaking tune. The original guitar
are a bit weird if you wanna play it and sing a long so I made a tab for strumming/picking.
actually think the 4th chord sounds better as an C#m instead of E during the verses, but 
like the sound of the open string there and they are relative major/minor anyway,
really make a big difference. Hope you like it. It sounds good to me but please comment 
you have anything to add!
