hum... so here is my thoughts. great tab overall but the finger picking part at the start feels a little off. I'm no musician but I think it sounds better if instead of puttin 3-2-3 on the first 3 notes you used 2-3-2. Just my feeling. If anybody has anything to add I'd be glad to hear it

I have played this song over and over with a C instead of a C5 and honestly the fifth makes it so much nicer and softer. 10/10 tab!
