The Happy Couple
　　A long time ago, there was a happy prince and princess in a country. They took care of and loved each other very much, and their country was happy, too. Therefore they didn't envy anything else. There was one thing they worried about. They wanted to make sure they could live happily forever like this
　　One day, one of the subjects found out the couple's worry and told them, &Prince, I heard that there is a magic charm, and it can protect you from any unfortunate event. If you always carry the magic charm with you, your fear and worry will disappear.& &Is it true? Where can I find that charm?& The prince asked him joyfully. &There is an old man in the forest, and he knows about everything. You can ask him.&
　　The couple visited the old man, and asked for help with their worries and fears. The old man nodded his head as if he knew everything and said, &Travel all around the world. Then, when you meet a very happy couple, ask them to cut a piece of their underwear. If you keep the piece of the underwear, your fear and worry will go away.&
　　The couple appreciated the old man's kindness and set out on the journey. The couple wandered around everywhere and heard about a happy knight and his wife of one town. They went to visit the knight. &Are you really happy like the rumor?& Then the knight answered. &Of course, we are, Prince. But our only worry and problem is that we didn't have any children.&
　　They had to find an absolutely happy couple, so they continued their journey. They visited a happy couple who were famous for their happiness in the next town. And they asked the couple if they were really happy. The couple answered. &Yes, we are very happy. But we have too many children. A mother with a large brood never has a peaceful day. We worry too much about our children.&
　　They could not get a magic charm this time too, and kept going on their trip. It was very hard to find the happiest couple in the world. One day, the prince couple met a shepherd and his wife in a big field.
　　The shepherd was playing a flute and driving a herd of sheep, and his wife took their two children to him. As soon as the shepherd saw his family, he ran to them directly. He kissed and embraced each of them by turns. They sat in a circle and had lunch after the wife had prepared it.
　　The prince couple watched for a while and approached them. &Excuse me. You look so happy!& The shepherd smiled and said, &Sure, any king or queen can never be happier than we are.&
　　The prince couple thought that they finally found what they were looking for. &I am sorry, but could you please cut a piece of your underwear for us?& The prince couple asked them very politely, but the shepherd couple felt confused and said, &Of course we would like to help you, but we don't wear any underwear.&
　　In the end, the couple set out on their journey again with nothing. Finally they came back to their home because they were so tired, and because they couldn't find the magic charm too. As soon as they came back to their country, they visited the old man. The prince told their story to the old man and asked him. &Why did you make us suffer from the long trip for a charm which doesn't even exist?& The old man smiled and said, &Well, do you really think your trip was a vain effort? Think about it carefully. While you were traveling around, you learned many things about how other people live, didn't you?&
　　The prince thought to himself for a while and said, &Ah, now I understand. You mean that true happiness is up to yourself.& The prince's wife smiled and nodded her head. The happy couple held their hands and looked in each other's eyes.
　　The old man said as he watched them. &The true magic charm that you are searching for is in your mind. Keep it carefully from now on. Then, you'll never be unhappy with whatever comes your way.&【】 责任编辑：生如夏花

I've arranged it a little bit here and there but for the most part I think it is pretty authentic.精彩内容，尽在百度攻略：It's not the type of song you want to try and make better! The ending might give you trouble if you have issues doing a T-I-M-R arpeggio. (Each finger including thumb on a string and you go back and forth: thumb-index-mid-ring-mid-index-thumb)I have not included any of the Intro-Verse-Chorus marks because, in my humble opinion, this song is much beyond that as far as structure goes. I did not feel like I needed to apply it.That said…
Good luck!精彩内容，尽在百度攻略：------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: F#A#EbFG#C#(It is very slightly flat on the recording)-Note 1-精彩内容，尽在百度攻略：Weird things can happen when you record and some sounds or moves just can't be recreated! I have been looking to reproduce this sound and the only way I can get it close (not entirely sure)is this: as you are doing the double vibrato on the 5th-6th fret of the 5th and 3rd string, you are still fretting the 3rd fret of the 2nd string.That being said, mid-vibrato I picked the 2nd string and produced a fretted harmonic instead of note because my finger touched lightly as I picked (because of the up and down vibrato motion).You can just pick the note instead or pick the artificial harmonic at the 3rd fret (that's what 3.2 stands for).精彩内容，尽在百度攻略：-Note 2-Here the correct left-hand position: your pinky frets 4th string 10th fret, middle finger frets 3rd string 8th fret and you get the harmonics with your index.-Note 3-精彩内容，尽在百度攻略：Every time you pick the 6th string you need to mute it right after. I use my left-hand index. You can do that or use your right-hand thumb-index (string stopping). You don't have to do neither but this passage is going to sound much clearer if you do!
