Note the differences between the lines that end with: -----------2| -----------3| -----------2| --2--4--5--0| -----------x| -----------x| and the ones that end with -----------2| -----------3| -----------2| --2--4--2--0| -----------x| -----------x| this is especially important if you want to sing along. Also, note that the line "But I, I wish for you more than I can give, than I can do" doesn't have that high note on the 3rd string.
