After downloading dozens of songs from the OLGA,I guess I should 'repay'
with my first transcription.Since I am only a beginner,please don't put
any blame on me on the song's accuracy.
The standard tuning sounds ok to me.However,you can always tune down
accordingly to the CD.
This song is a pretty simple song,which uses 3 guitars;2 of them are either
electro-acoustic or acoustic while the other is an electric guitar.
This emotional song is dedicated to those in love out there.Hope you guys
enjoy playing it!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official INDECENT OBSESSION tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
