Feel free to revise as this is the simplest I can make it. This little tab can cover whole song.
It is simple, however, (depending on how you want to play it) if you want to keep note by word... it is fast and can get short of breath quick. Practice makes better.
Note: For the intrumental opening, it is the same but if you want to sound like the fiddle you can scale in (2 3 4) then bend(~) the 5's.
It should go ~5 4 ~5 '4'4.. then continue like the rest.
