This specific tab is based off of my interpretation of this YouTube Video:
Some parts may be inaccurate due to the difficulty in discerning the exact finger positions and strumming
patterns used in the video. It represents a close approximation but may require adjustments to align perfectly
with the performance. Players are encouraged to use this tab as a guide and modify it as needed to suit their
playing style or to better match the nuances of the song as performed by Honer.
The intro and verses of the song feature fingerpicking, while the chorus incorporates strumming.
The strumming pattern used by Honer, as observed, is DDUUDU.
