This song is one of the best songs on the new album.
Remember, though, that you should have something to strum with on this song if you 
are not used to play songs like this one. If you are used to play ?bass chords? like 
in this song, you?ll know how to strum without destroying your nails(My nails have 
gotten harder than diamond after all my time playing songs like this one? =) )
