Chorus variation (see below)

On the second time playing the chorus, the outro hammer ons are repeated three times (0h5h7 0h5h7 x3) before
the last two notes. Then the main chorus is played one more time with the song ending on the first rest,
without repeating.

I'm fairly sure I've got the tone of the song 100% accurate, please leave feedback with any comments or
variations you might have
