The base of the song is here. The rest of the song follows this pattern but with change to
repetition or slight change in the order. After listening to the song and practicing, you will be able
to pick this up quite easily.

For example the Outro is the same as the intro. Or in the second verse there is another repeat
of the part on the higher frets.

If there are any improvements please comment below!
