Tab
4.9(384)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

This is a classical guitar piece, so you must know how to pick with your fingers. Although I did

NOT write this tab, I did do some editing. The original tab was by a YouTuber, Tim Parsons.

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9gYID6Ij3o

NOTE: This piece is in the key of C. If you want to play a more accurate, impressive, difficult

version in the correct key of D, check out Harry Murrell's arrangement: https://youtu.be/EYUaW68Xdh0

(his tab is on his website, in the description). This is the version that I prefer to

play today. -Aidan
