This is my first ever time writing a tab. Mainly because the other dear diary song is in chord
form when Stephen Lynch did his gig live, so I tried to tab this by ear.
Took me a while... so go easy :D
As an example for lyrics I've written in the first time Stephen Lynch sings it on the album.
Enjoy. Feedback is welcome because I'm only a novice guitarist! :D
