Then all orchestral instruments fade out leaving only the piano for the verse.
The following is a tricky piece of tab for the piano,vocal and violin based around
the simple piano chords c,g,f, (bridge chords f,c) You will notice that there is a
difference in the size of the spaces between notes. A smaller space indicates there
is twice as many notes picked as when there is a bigger space. Have a listen to the
song first!
