The song is in general very simple, a melody and a couple of chord progressions. The
solo is simple and very nice to play in a clean guitar. There are A LOT of background
stuffthat I am not tabbing (guitars, keyboards and sometimes bass get confused in the
mix). Rate and comment. Check for the repetitions in the comments of each section.
