    Pre-Chorus

    We transitioned the verse to the Pre-Chorus so that you can see
    how it fits together. The Pre-Chorus starts with the B.

    Chorus

    After you have played through the chorus twice, you will play
    the very last measure to end the chorus. Listen closely and you
    will see what we mean.

    Outro

    You are just playing the chords for the chorus in this outro.
    All you will have to do is look above to get the correct chords.
    The tabbed out part is supposed to be played on a 12 string, but
    you can still use your standard acoustic. ALSO, there
    is NO capo on the tabbed out part below ( Guitar 2 ) .
