{this starts the "chorus" part}
{this line and the next is sprinkled with 5ths. i didn't write them in because they aren't THAT important, but he is
playing them. if you dont know what a 5th is, dont worry about it. just play up and string and up two frets from where
you're playing at the moment... so if you're playing 4 on the a string, then the fifth would be 6 on the d string.
pretty simple, throw them in where it sounds appropriate}
