*NOTE: The intro, as well as the first two verses, sound better if you let each bass
ring until the next bass note. Also, the A bass note shown here is actually an octave lower
the one actually played in the song, but it's easier to play the lower octave.

Note: When he repeats the chorus, it sounds a little different, mainly due to the
pattern. The repeated chorus, I think, should have a strumming pattern of up, down, up, down.
as long as you strum it differently the second time around, you should be fine.
