This is the slow version, not the reprise. I did this by ear, and it sounds pretty accurate to me...but please email me if you have any comments, suggestions, or corrections. Also, I would like to note that in the soundtrack...I think there are two guitars playing...but I have re-arranged this for solo play. If you found this tab useful...please drop me a note to let me know that my efforts weren't wasted.
I do not recommend trying this with a pick...it's a fingerpicking song. Also, I have never written a tab before so my sense of timing through the lines is horrible...if you are confused as to how fast the song should be, listen to the soundtrack or email me and I can send you audio of me playing the song exactly as written here. Enjoy.
