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!
This is perhaps the most beautiful song on this excellently done album. There weren't any tabs so I decided to at least try my hand at the chords. Very easy to play and sounds correct - submit if you have a better one! This is my first tab so take it easy on me!
Enjoy - J
