*All chords are power chords A5, D5, etc. but are indicated A, D, etc*
I got lazy and didn't feel like typing in all the chords, so when you see the
indication at the end of the line "E C" that's the place where it plays
E5 & C5 chords. This is the basic rhythm: A / D / A / D (hold)
Then when there's an E C at the end of the line it plays:
A / D / A / D h E C. Each of the slashes or letters represent a beat. The
"h" means hold it the duration of a beat.
