The song is in 4/4 time. Almost every note is an 1/8 note. When you see 0^2 it
means play the string open then quickly hammer on at the 2nd fret. It is
called a grace note. The hammer should fall on the beat.

Do not save your loving speeches
For your friends 'til they are dead;
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them now instead.
