Hello, UGers! This is a new one delivered by me, actually tabbed by a friend
(shout out to you, Panos). I didn't see anything like it here whilst searching for
the acoustic version and it's fairly tricky to play. Although the fore-said fact,
it's in the 'chords' section because in the bottom, after the first part of the
tab section, it is written with chords and lyrics, so you can go ahead and play it
like that with your own strumming according to how you think it sounds best (by
ear). With this said, it could be played by a rookie as well, but I'll just go
ahead and call it 'intermediate'. Enjoy!
