 felt your laugh

You smiled down across the waves

Of course, fell free to make this tab better.
I did my best, but Adrian is a monster guitarist and he does some strange chord; he's a
he's the story, and I'm only a nut.
But this is my tribute to him.
Thank you Ade.


This tab and the time to write it is dedicated to my father.
I love you Dad, I miss you so much.
My life without you is only an half of what it was.
We’ll be "father and son, home again" and we'll love each other like always.
I’m sure.
