NOTES:
*For the intro and first two lines of the verses and interludes, you are NOT
going to play: G, C, G, C, but it is G, C, G, G...do not play a second "C" in
there, there is only 1 "C" note in that progression, it does not alternate back
to "C" again on the 4th note, just G, C, G, G (you may want to try a variation on
the finger picking in the last G to kind of give and audible cue as to an end to
the riff, or moving on to the verses, etc...)

*Although this is played on two guitars, it is written this way for one
guitar...the notes: "F#4", "Bb4", "G4", and "A7sus4" are all played by the second
guitar whenever applicable in the song, while the first guitar keeps playing the
intro riff...but since both parts are so minor I combined them, because this song
can be played on one guitar, and still sound great.

*Even though the song fades out, I like playing the end gradually slowing down
interlude 2 the final repetition, and ending with one downward strum on the G
chord after picking the last G; just a thought to make the end sound good while
not ending too abruptly.
