That's all. Pretty simple, isn't it ? Just listen to the record if you
want to get the chorus lyrics and some other details I might have
forgotten right.
BTW, I think the song is originally played by 2 acoustic guitars, one
playing open chords and one barre (at least they played it like this
in the video). The chorus is doubled on electric.
