firstly a few words:
when you judge this tab please respect the fact that I'm training for a degree in music and that I have spent months working on this, so people who say it's from a music book will have their ears cut off! Lol.
Because of the length of the song I have referred back to past bars at certain points.
You are all gonna have to listen real hard to get the rhythms right at some points as well.
Phew, I've been working on this for months. Well here goes:
