Guitar(s)      : Acoustic Steel String/Classic Acoustic
Tuning         : Standard
Notes          : This tablature describes the acoustic guitars only,
                 which form the body of the song. It sounds like The
                 Steel String is used on all but the final verse and
                 final chorus where a classical guitar is picked and
                 strummed. There are also some slight electric guitar
                 accents heard throughout the song. The ryhthm is based
                 on 4/4. The Chords used are at the bottom of the
file.
