tuning : half – step down

like all the other tabs , this is my own interpretation of the song . the chords are
very accurate tho
their meant to be played acustically and this tab was taken from the studio verions which only
contains piano and bowed instruments . also please check your tuning , this tab is for half – step
down tuning!

chords :
{ open chords ( recommended ) } { bar chords ( alternate ) }
