Music notes:
-The verse music for verses 1 and 2 basically consists of alternating
between group 2 and group 1 four times ending with group one playing
twice instead of once.
-For verse 3 you stop on the first C5/G of the fourth alternation,
allow a little bit of silence for the line "God's truth.." and then
jump right into the chorus music.
-The chorus music is groups 3 and 1 alternating with distorted guitar
playing too, it also ends with group 1 playing twice instead of once.
-The ending is just group 1 distorted over and over finally ending on
the G5 with feedback.
