            NOTE: Recently one person rated this tab extremely low.
      Please do me a favor if you feel this is not a 5 star tab then at least have
      the courtesy to explain in a message why you feel it is not before leaving a
      low rating. This way I can either use or reject your suggestion and discuss it
      with you if need be.
 
      Thanks to all of you that rated it 5 stars and saw this tab was a quality tab.
 
      I would appreciate it if any of you who use this tab or add it to your
      favorites, etc. would please take the time to rate it 5 stars to keep
      it where the rating should be - 5 stars. THANK YOU.
      Please compare this chord tab to all the other chord tabs of this song and you will 
      see that this one in my opinion is the easiest to put on auto scroll to follow and 
      the most accurate.
                             Thank you
