If all the cut-off marks scattered everywhere confuse you,
just ignore them at
first.

Well...Enjoy. I spent a week making this tab, and then over an
hour editing my screw-ups
and even re-writing some parts I orginally got wrong. This song
may look a bit simple,
but it's really tricky. This is my favorite song, and that's
why I put so much effort
into the tab. If you find any mistakes, let me know. My email address
is at the top.
