NOTE: * This song is played in a 3/4 time signature.
* No guitar is used in Erutan's song. The fingerpicking parts of this tab were made using the the
violin's pizzicato and celesta as a guide. As such, it's an interpretation. None of it is official.
* Should you prefer to play this song without fingertapping, just refer to one of the other verses. It
contains the very same chords.
* None of the chords in this tab are official by the way, I did all of this by ear.
