On the chords the (b) = barred
On the bridge part strum the chord 2x then mute 2x again then mute,
and what i mean by mute is take ur palm and lay across the strings,
that's why i labeled the chord more than once.
In my first version I forgot to add something towards the end before the last bridge,
but I put it in the 2nd to last chorus.
b = bend
~ = vibrato
\ = slide down
p = pull
