Guitar tabs 

Props to Ian Lindsay for his transcription, but I found a few mistakes. I^Òve numbered the measure
variations as (1), (2), and (3)^Å the order is just slightly different, and the finger picking at the end is
again just slightly different. I^Òve asterixed the changes. Cheers.

Ben plays it on a Martin 00-18,and it's
all finger picked.Notice that the guitar
is tune a step lower than standard.
