(Repeat with backing vocals or improvised leads to end)
Note: Large use of harmony vocals leaves a lot of room for acoustic duos! Try having one person strum on
beats 2+4 (as in the song), and the other do solid quarter or eight notes. Perhaps while one is picking in
the prechorus, have the other strum each root chord once on the chord changes. Just a few ideas :)
