NOTE; To play this song correct you have to be able to play Bass Runs when going from
one chord to the next. I will show the notes that need to be emphasized when
doing so. I will also keep the name of the chords simple instead of using slash
chords as I believe this will help a beginner to play the song. Those that are
more advanced will know what I mean and how to play this Bass Run.
