Performance Notes:
The strumming patterns and palm mutes are clearly heard on this recording,
listen to it carefully to pick out the different variations. Let the chords
ring out on the intro. For most of the main verse use the palm of your hand
and mute the chords between strums. Let the chords ring out for the pre-chorus
and chorus.
