I've written this in my frustration that I couldn't find/or hear a chord tab of this song
that 'hit the right notes', but I acknowledge with thanks the previous
works of other UT members who inspired me to complete this submission.
TUNING:
Standard Tuning with Capo on 2nd fret. This version of the song is set in Bminor.
Although original is in C#minor, this sounds more interesting and
you get the option of more 'open' chords.
