	- this tab is the acoustic version. practically the same way how 
you play the original, only with the pluckings.
	- this is really easy to play, only if you get the rhythm, 
especially the chords of Bm6-7 and G-GM7-G. and take note of the 
instrumental part.
	- if you try to listen to the song itself, they have two guitars.
in this tab you can go solo without the lead (that's how i make tabs...
kinda selfish ey!).
	- not good to be played by an electric guitar


Major chords in the strumming part:

Note: strings 1 and 6 are both dropped down from E to D (two half 
steps lower)

     Bm7     Bm6      Bm6-7       G      GM7     G-GM7-G     G/F#

	- tip: to make the strings "dead" in the chords G, GM7, G-GM7-G and
G/F#, use your RING finger in string-6 (lowest D) and your index finger in
string-2 (B). then for the dead string-5 (A), slightly touch the string 
with your ring finger. this should make a mute sound for that string.
	- all the chords WITHOUT a tab written below it, that means you
strum it.

Note: these chords are mainly used in the strumming parts of the song:
intro, chorus and instrumental.

	Now this is my third tab I have submitted to olga.net (and so far
2 out of the 3 tabs I submitted so far were accepted, and this is a 
resubmission). Well, there's nothing actually special about this song. It's
just this song is the favorite song of this girl who "burned" me (not 
putting it in a bad way). Of course I wouldn't dare tell the name because 
she might sue me for ILLEGAL PLUGGING OF PROPERTY OR NAME (if there is 
such!)...again. Actually not much to say about her. I just think that this 
song is great, and it's good to helpl others learn this really godd song.

	For those people who have problems and/or suggestions for this tab,
email me at jatrix@edsamail.com.ph, or you can send me SMS through these
numbers: (+63917)370-4849 or (+63918)357-7666. But I'm using the 917 line 
more often.
