Beautiful song by Aussie artist Lior. I searched and waited for a tab for this song for
best part of two years but last week finally
decided to write one myself. It is the first tab I've written, so sorry if anything is
- it seems to be fairly accurate but feel
free to modify it as you will if you think there are problems. Email me at
with any questions, enjoy!
