Hi! This is my first attempt at tabulature. I am reasonably sure about all the riffs though!
If you have any better ideas / suggestions please feel free to email!

This song is very beautiful (especially the riffs) and rather easy to play!!! ENJOY!:)

I have copied all the chord progressions from an earlier tabulature. 

I personally play it a little differently. Check the end of this file for my version.
