I am not going to type it all out becaues if you listen to the song, you will\r\nrealize how easy it is. There is also a Bass Pattern played while going into and out of\r\nthe verses and ending the song, it is played by Elliott, but sounds much better if you\r\nplay it while doing playing the chords that Pete Krebs plays, which are the ones I have\r\nhere.
