I am basing this entirely on the one recording
I've heard of it and from when I saw it live a
few weeks ago. It seems about right though. Let
me know what you think in the comments section.
You can hear the original recording by just
following the link below to the recording I've
heard. This is a very new song so most will have
to listen to that recording before attempting to play.
