Now...there's a mandolin in the song and sounds pretty good also the rhythm and
actually all the guitars are hard to listen so maybe are wrong i got like two months
with this tab and i finally decided to share it with the world and now is
a better tab than two months ago so here it is,the most difficult tab
that i ever made just 75% of accuracy and even less in the chorus but always
with good intentions anyway the solo is kind of easy so very soon will be here
just a litlle fills in the song.
