There is one more thing I did not add.  In the chorus, there is a fill played on a 
based around a G chord and is played after ever G chord in the chorus and here it is.


   G
E--3----3-----3p2p0-3------------------------------|
B--3-----------------------------------------------|
G--0-----------------------------------------------|
D--0-----------------------------------------------|
