* This tab is actually done by my friend [ K.T Lim ] and i did
some corrections as well as posting it *

This is somewhat a correction to all the tabs.
I find that this version is fairly accurate and
is worth playing. It is also a very easy song to
play and is cathcy. The only hard part is the
strumming ^_^' . Play it with correct timing and
rythm. The best is to listen to the CD.

Strumming part.

- Simply strum it with the rythem. The best way to play is to strum the
top three strings a few times then strum the lower three strings
repeatedly while sometimes hitting it hard.
