tabbed by Weed - August 1998
this is surely one of the loveliest guitar pieces ever written,
and its easy to play!

NOTES
bar 0 - the first 3 notes could be played on frets 5 6 & 7
of the 2nd string in order to add some vibrato to the opening
note which could then be lingered on slightly
bar 3 - using the 2nd finger on the 6th string, and barring the
2nd fret of the 5th & 4th strings for the next 2 notes, and using
the 4th finger for the 4th note of the bar, then this allows the
first note of the bar (the G on the 6th string) to be held
bar 47 - the second note (E) could be played on the 5th fret
of the 2nd string instead of the open top string - this would
allow the first note of the bar (A) to overlap the E rather
than have the open E overlap the rest of the bar
