[Verse 1] Play Intro Riff
[Chorus 1] I have a strong hunch this is played with a mandolin, but to match the
notes in the right octave for guitar this is how it's played. If you don't think
it goes this high, listen to the track. If you don't think it's the right octave,
notice how the second part is noticeably lower (not higher) than the first part. I
know it's awkward to play, but do your best.
