This lazy tab by a non-registered user was incomplete, there were wrong
chords all over, there were no full lyrics - in short, it was beyond
correction (the original version is documented at the end of the edited tab).
As there are many versions for easy guitar here on this site, I took the
liberty to replace it with an intermediate version which tries to trace as
much of the piano accompaniment as possible. It may look a little complicated
at first, but it isn't that difficult to play once you try. Enjoy!
