Some of you may know Will Evans from Barefoot Truth. He has evolved into an amazing loop artist
that is on the verge of breaking out. This is a beautiful song called Heartache. I hope you enjoy
it as much as I do. Will is extremely soulful and grounded. He's an amazing all around musician whether
it's drums, guitar or singing.
This the solo acoustic studio version of this song. 
A couple of lines I'm not sure about the correct lyrics. I will change as soon as I find
the correct ones. Notated with an *.
Use the easy F chord throughout the verses tapping
between it and the C. Will taps frequently using his middle finger on the 3rd fret D string for C chords.
Listen to song for timings. Use Fmaj in the chorus and last verse for more depth.
