NOTE: I believe there is another version of this song by Ian Thompson.
      This would be the Album/CD version. That one and this one are
      very similar. I however prefer this version more. This tab will
      Also work for that version with slight modification to the lyrics.

      This tab however is ONLY for the UNPLUGGED VERSION which I have linked.
      Please keeep that in mind when playing and rating this tab.
