Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Hi there! This was a request over at Live Love Guitar and
I actually had it mostly tabbed from when the album came out,
but that bridge part was driving me nuts so I had put it off
and forgot about it. Well, it's done now and it sounds good :)

**IMPORTANT NOTES**
-The intro timing is tough. Just follow the strumming as indicated.

-All the verses are 2 BEATS PER CHORD. It's easy to get the timing
once you get going (the chorus is different but it's easy to stay
on beat, just play along with the song!)

-THE BRIDGE: One strum per chord, might take a couple tries to get
the timing. Again- PLAY ALONG WITH THE SONG!

-For the last part of the bridge, to keep the timing, I put the lyrics
for the chorus in there and it really helps having it that way.
There's no singing except for that last line indicated with '**'.
Hope it makes sense!

*I went back and forth with no capo or capo on 5 and I thought the
transitioning between chords was easier with capo on 5 (I keep the
strumming on the EADGB strings avoiding the high e.) Transpose up 5
times to remove the capo if you want :)
