It was a little difficult to hear exactly what is being played at certain
points where the violin and/or keyboard gets louder and the clarity of the
guitar diminishes. For those parts of the song I had to use how it was played
earlier in the song to logically guess what Esteban is playing. It's not that
what I have sounds bad, it just may not be exactly what is being played.
Again, since I am no good at the timing, it is just the complete song from top
to bottom. I put in the time every once in a while in case you get lost.

p - piano, play softly
pp - pianissimo, play very softly

Standard tuning  (E,A,D,G,B,E)
