I know this song was posted awhile back, but that tab showed it in the key of A, here it is in B, the key used on the original recording.
Here's the song, a classic.

Now, this might be a strange tab, I wrote it for our keyboardist Dmitri, for some reason he has a little trouble with this song. Anyway, I tried to tab out the treble staff, so that might look a little weird, plus, I am not completely sure of the times shown, e= eighth note, q= quarter note, h= half note. If anybody has trouble figuring it out I can tab it using numbers. :D
Great song for acoustic guitar, but this sounds great on electric too.
