Guitar(s)   : Acoustic Steel String/Classic Acoustic
Tuning     : Standard
Notes     : This tablature describes the acoustic guitars only,
         which form the body of the song. It sounds like The
         Steel String is used on all but the final verse and
         final chorus where a classical guitar is picked and
         strummed. There are also some slight electric guitar
         accents heard throughout the song. The ryhthm is based
         on 4/4. The Chords used are at the bottom of the
file.

# This file is all the transcriber's own work.
