Notes:
• A few things about this tab. First of all, this is an acoustic compilation tab,
meaning that I tried to combine multiple elements from the actual song into a single
guitar part. So there are some elements of the violin part, the bass guitar part, and
the lead guitar part. Next, I don't know if this would work on a guitar with all six
strings, so keep that in mind. Although all the fingerings show the high e string as
muted, I doubt it'd be possible to actually mute it with your fingers. I just don't
have that string at all (nor does Justin of Blue October). With that having been said,
here's the piece...
Intro & Verses ("I feel that it's hard enough to say goodbye...")
(Strum; basically finger G6 (320000) and briefly throw in A notes with your index finger
the g string at fret 2 to match the violin; accent all strums with this A note in them)
