I have listed the basic chord progression above the tablature.
Sometimes the melody is part of the chord, and sometimes an extension
of the chord. I did not indicate which notes should be sustained. To
show the timing, I placed a "v" over each beat. I typically play the
intro, two verses, the bridge, another verse, and the coda.
