Tuning:Standard

I found this a long time ago but when i tried to look for again it was gone.
I take no credit for this tab. I am simply bringing it here for everyone else.
You can either play the chords above the staff or fingerpick the song.
I put the lyrics underneath the staff so to show how slow to play it.
