Beautiful, listen to it!

tabbed by Arnulf (koehncke[at]gmx.de)
this tab is all my own work, but please:
mail me with suggestions or questions!!

Capo on 3rd fret, which makes this key Eb MajorEb
(all chords and fingerings relative to capo)

Intro (very basal here, add complex things that sound nice if you like)
Sounds nice to just strum and change fingering on the BB and e-string.
Listen to the song to figure it out, very easy indeed...
