Notes:
- If you're playing where the guitar plays, there's technically no chords in the intro, verse 1, the first
chorus, and some parts of the bridge. If this is the case, ignore all B chords and all chords with asterisks
(except in the Breakdown).
- Strumming patterns don't apply everywhere so listen to the guitar part in the song to get a sense of the
strumming.
- Different chord variations are used throughout the song so pay attention to the asterisks.
