This is one of the most beautiful songs I`ve ever heard. And it`s really easy to play.
At some points the bendings are a little tricky, for example you have to bend a 3/4 note,
then release and bend again and so on. That`s why I didn`t tab it like 8b9. Especially
the last part is kinda impossible to tab. Well, anyway I tried. I didn`t add the signs for
vibrato, because you have to do it on almost every note. Just listen to the song to figure
it out, it shouldn`t be too hard.
By the way: There`s a point where you have to bend the 23rd fret of the high E string. Well,
Gary plays a Les Paul which means that he only has 22 frets. So, if you want to break your
finger, bend the 22nd fret at that point, I`ll bend the 23rd.
PS: This is my first tab, so please blah blah blah...
PPS: If you noticed this tab, please mail me and tell if you liked it and so on. But choose
a good headline so I don`t delete it.
b = bend
r = release
h = hammer on
p = pull off
= slide down
But of course you know that.
