Note:
This song is played on 12 stringed guitar. A few word about the tuning:
Each strings are doubled: the EADG string are doubled one octave higher.
The thinner/higher strings are in lower position so with the thumb you
can't reach it, only with 'upstrokes' or when strumming.
I signed with * when the notes where only the one octave higher sounding
string is picked. The two pairs of high strings (BE) are tuned to the same
pitch. There are points where the thumb goes up to the G string.

If you want to play this song on 6 stringed guitar you have to arrange it.
If you heve no idea check out the old version of this TAB if you have it.

Love of my life - you've hurt me,

You've broken my heart and now you leave me.

Love of my life don't leave me,

When I grow older I will be there at your side to remind you
