Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

If you're confused about something, have a question, or want to suggest a song for me to make
tabs for, just leave a comment or email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

There are two different ways to play the intro, so play whichever you like better, even though its
really just a one note difference, or you can just play chords instead. There really isn't a guitar
playing at the intro, it's just the piano (and a keyboard for the acoustic
version), but I like playing
it anyway.

Capo: 6th fret
Standard Tuning

Intro/Outro/Verses (tabs):
****The tabs are easier if you play it as a C chord****

E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------6-6-8-------------8-------8---|
A|---9-9-9-9-------9-9-9-6-9-6---6-9-6-----|
E|-----------------------------------------|

The other way to play it is instead of playing the two notes on the 6th fret on the D string, drop
your finger down that's on the 8th fret on the D string and play the 8th fret on the A string to
replace the notes on the 6th fret on D. So it would look like this:
E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|---------------8-------------8-------8---|
A|---9-9-9-9-8-8---9-9-9-6-9-6---6-9-6-----|
E|-----------------------------------------|

Also in the second verse, that last 8th fret played on the D string is replaced with the 6th fret on
the G string. So it would look like this:
E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------6---|
D|-----------6-6-8-------------8-----------|
A|---9-9-9-9-------9-9-9-6-9-6---6-9-6-----|
E|-----------------------------------------|
