First Rap 🎸 Chorus:  (Song kicks in properly)
(On the 14, an octave slide/dive is used via an effects pedal, but you can just slide
down the fretboard from the note if you dont have a pedal. I use a Boss Harmonist PS-6 for pedal reference)

🎸 Outro: (On the final 12, again either use a pedal to do an octave dive/slide, or
alternatively, pick and hold the note for a while, then do a long slide down. Feel free to
pick the open A string at the end if you want a stronger finish)
