  • Notes:
    • A few things about this tab. First of all, this is an acoustic compilation tab,
    meaning that I tried to combine multiple elements from the actual song into a single
  • guitar part. So there are some elements of the violin part, the bass guitar part, and
    the lead guitar part. Next, I don't know if this would work on a guitar with all six
    strings, so keep that in mind. Although all the fingerings show the high e string as
  • muted, I doubt it'd be possible to actually mute it with your fingers. I just don't
    have that string at all (nor does Justin of Blue October). With that having been said,
    here's the piece...
  •  
    Intro & Verses ("I feel that it's hard enough to say goodbye...")
    (Strum; basically finger G6 (320000) and briefly throw in A notes with your index finger
  • the g string at fret 2 to match the violin; accent all strums with this A note in them)

  • to the chords below)
    •Play twice; end on a C chord (x3201x) after the second time
