[Part E] (2:00-2:26)
Guitar:Just plays a Cmaj7 chord, first two times he holds it for 2 bars, second time he plays 8th notes. Then it ends on an Fmaj7 just before the drum hit. e|--------| e|-------| B|-0------| B|-------| G|-4------| G|-------| D|-2------| D|-2-----| A|-3------| A|-3-----| D|--------|x8 D|-3-----| Bass: same as guitar G|--------| G|--------| D|--------| D|-3------| A|-3------| A|--------| E|--------|x8 E|--------|
[2:28-4:10]
Goes from D to Em. The E comes in on the 2nd beat of the bar which confused me for a bit i was trying to
figure out if the time signature changed.
