*******************************************************************************
Playing tips :
1) All tabs transcribed below are as close as I can get but you should try
to fit your own rhythmic feel and guitar fills whenever you feel it is
most appropriate. It is not easy to transcribe a strumming(rhythm) part.
2) When playing the Intro and Ending, finger the chords given below and not
just press the notes you need to play. This is because you want the
notes to really sound properly.
3) Bill Leverty (Firehouse) applied roughly the same chord progressions and
guitar techniques on "Love of a Lifetime" and "When I Look Into Your Eyes".
If you need these songs, it will be pretty easy to pick up this song.
4) When performing the guitar solo, do not play it stiff. Add thrills and
tremolos to the long notes. This will add life and energy to your guitar
playing.
5) For people who wants to play the easy guitar version (strumming), follow
the chords given at tablatures.
6) Please feedback to me on whether the tablatures have been useful to you
and accurate or if you have any queries. This will enable me to continue
to contribute. My Email Address is :

7) Lastly, this song is dedicated to all the people in love out there.
Good Luck !!
