Very Sweet Song. Enjoy playing it. Not very difficult too.
So practice it a while and pLaY FoR tImE!!!


This is my work and not plagiarized. And hey you ppl out there, do
contribute tabs if you can, doesn't matter if its not 100% correct
or if its very simple. This one also has errors but u can have an 
idea about how it goes and i bet it will save some time compared 
to tabbing it on your own. So get up and start working.
