This is one of the most interesting guitar arrangements I
have ever transcribed. It's really a beautiful song!
I'm not certain about the tuning (Jonatha did not give
a tuning for this song yet at her website), however
this tuning seems to work well.
I only tabbed out the guitar parts you need to put the
whole song together (i.e., haven't done tab for every single
verse - have only notated the essential elements). The
guitar is exactly the same in every verse. The between verse
parts are different. If you have any problems, write to me.
