CHORUS
(Note: judging from both the studio and live recordings of the song, the guitarist
to strum a G chord throughout the chorus as the other instruments, particularly the bass,
beneath it. However, this doesn't sound particularly good in solo arrangements, so I've
out the changing chords as best I can.)
