Pop Quiz - Do you know how originally wrote this song? Don't look it up! He he he he.....

Here is the video for the main idea of the song. If you can play the intro, you can play the entire song with no problems. Just check out the finger arrangements and notice they repeat in the same fashion over and over :

Video (Concept)

Video (Root Notes and Pattern)

Intro

The entire intro plays the same theme, so I didn't play it a billion times.

Verse 1

The verse only offers one change from the intro. It's the last measure, which changes time signature to 2/4 timing. Just listen and you'll see how it transitions to the first chorus.

Chorus

Notice that the theme starts to repeat again here :

Verse 3

This verse offers a little change. I DID play the first two measure 4x for this one.

Outro

There are two guitar parts playing here. The easier one to me is actually on the bottom. I didn't play this part 4x because it was thematically the same over and over. I just ended it after one bar, and playing the Asus2 to finalize it. I think the rests that are shown in this part are a bit relative to your desired speed. I didn't really watch for the rests, as they seemed pointless. You're really just picking in a loose fashion.
