NOTE: This is not the whole song. There are parts I have not learned yet but these are
main parts of the song.

The part where he sings "You've got a wonderful ass" has those chord changes that I hope
made clear above. However, I have not figured out the guitar riffs for this part so
are missing. But the bass part on that section is "Bass b)".
