This is a simple song that has little one note changes at the end of every riff.
Riff A and B are to be used during the Verses.I labled the two different riffs
he plays and when you should play them.
Order For Song:
Intro
Verse 1
Transition To Chorus
Chorus x3
Verse 2

Chorus x4
The Order for the Intro and the Verse is A,B,A,B,A,B,A,A,A,B

with a different ending.
