Any questions or comments, just email me.

The Choruses are something like the into:

  You know that you want it....                                  etc...
----             -------           -------          -------      ----
----             ---3---           ---5---          ---3---      ----

-O--             ---O---           ---O---          ---O---      -O--
----             -------           -------          -------      ----
