Note: The emphasis when counting the beats is placed on the "1" and the "4".
Here is the music chart for the complete song:
Note: The top line in the above example is where you will play the main riff that you just learned. This line repeats twice during the verse lyrics, and then twice again instrumentaly before going to the bridge chords starting on the D minor chord.
The above illustrates the complete song. It simply repeats over and over. For the full lyrics there are many good sources online.
I hope you enjoy playing this song as much as I have over the years! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
