As opposed to diagramming the whole song, I'm going
to just show how to play the various sections. The
most difficult part of playing this song is the timing,
not only with singing the words but the ascending chords
in the chorus. There's little point in writing it out
so just listen to the song to get a feel for how it all
comes together.
