Standard tuning

For this song, there are really only 3 sections you need. For brevity I'll write the
sections, and then list the order at the bottom. Each section is 8 beats. It'll be easiest
to read if you listen to the song while playing. If you would rather replace the "5"s 
with open strings, feel free.

So the song goes:

A x 4 times (The THIRD time only, do not play the last line)
B x 1 time
C x 2 times (In the last line, play the [10] the first time and the [12] the
             second time)
A x 1 time
C x 2 times (Both times play the [12])
B x 3 times (The THIRD time repeats the last line about 4.5 times, all
             varied from usual)





I'm sorry if this seemed confusing, I tried to do it in a concise way that made sense.
Leave me a comment if you think of a more clear way to write it or find any mistakes.
