hello all! here’s a rather simple tab for a rather beautiful song .
( i’ve mapped it out in power chords because i play it in open C , but if i’m not
mistaken it would sound fine if you replaced the A5 and E5 with Am and Em , and
left the G and C as they are . )
if you listen to the song , the placing of the chords should come easily .
