SHORT TV SHOW CREDITS VERSION
PLEASE NOTE:
This tab is specifically the shorter arrangement of
the song as used in the show's opening credit sequence
The closing theme music is the same as the opening one,
except for a very clumsily done edit where the 2nd line
of the verse was deleted to fit the shorter timing of
the TV end credits.
To hear the theme tune, copy and paste this link:
