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 my first tab and it's not perfect, but it sounds pretty close to me. If you play it while listening to the song it sounds pretty much the same but there are some parts I'm not sure about. It's one of my favorite songs by David Archuleta and I hope you have fun playing it!
Notes: I don't know what the G* chord is called so I just called it G*, I don't know if that is right though. Also, the chords change pretty fast so if you're having trouble it's easier to play the whole song with just quick down strums instead of with a strumming pattern. :)
