First, I'd like to thank Bchadwick for the lyrics. He requested the chords and I asked him the lyrics. 
So he sent them to me.
Well, the hard work had to be done. And though I think it's not perfect, It's pretty close. 
Some sounds could be perfected.
Well, that's close enough to be posted.
Hope you'll like this transcr i ption. Tell me if you see some changes to do.
Happyfab.
