I separated the parts above to show how the song's parts are arranged.

If you look, you will notice that the middle two sections are the same.

Also, the music under the first verse and chorus is NOT the same as the

rest of the verses and choruses. Very very sneaky!!! :) (And he almost

got away with it!!!)

Enjoy! :)!

P.S. For part 'E', there are some different things you can play that

still fit. Here's my favorite:

I like to play this part finger-picked, so I can really hit that bass

note hard. It accentuates the timing, and it sounds great!
