- listen to song to get strumming pattern. It can be written by tab
but the only way to get it to perfection is to listen to the song
and get it yourself.
- I broke the song up into verses to make it easier to understand and play.
The way I broke the song up into verses may not necessarily be the way it
was written by that artist but all the wording is the same.
