--hey y'all, this is my first tab and it took me a while but pretty much

everything should be accurate. Listen to the song for exact timing, and I'm not

positive on the intro and the veryend because thats on the piano anyways, and

this is the closest I could get. Comments,questions, complaints or suggestions,

email me.
