fingerings; these are just to get the exact same octave that Declan plays
in the original recordings of the songs.
? : If you're playing with these special fingerings, treat the two halfs of
the song as different songs altogether: only use the fingerings for the
first half when playing the first half of the song and only use the
fingerings for the second half when playing the second half.
