Sad Song tab by Oasis

Sad Song, written by Noel Gallagher, the bottomless fountain of amazing
acoustic songs.
Song can be found on the vinyl edition of "Definitely Maybe" and the
Japanese "Definitely Maybe" CD, from what I've heard.

Transcribed below is the version of "Sad Song" that Noel plays acoustic
on the Oasis concert video "Live By The Sea." I've previously done a
transcription of "Sad Song" that Noel played at some other show, but as
he often plays this song a little differently, below is the version he
plays in "Live By The Sea" at the Southside Cliffs Pavalion back in April
of 1994, I believe.
