NOTES
*Don’t fixate on the strumming pattern or the position of the chords on top of the lyrics, they’re just
there as a starting point. If you keep the rhythm, you’ll be just fine.
*When playing Lick I, you can also just strum the chords.
*Lick II is played instead of an Esus4 chord, so if you don’t like the sound of it on an acoustic guitar,
you can play the chord.
*The |..| during the interlude stands for one bar/measure, which means that the |G G#| is played
just as long as |C#m|.
