Notes:
The driving force in this song is the chromatic rising and falling bass:
from F to F sharp and back to F, which gives it a pulsating, haunting quality.
Experiment with occasionally playing the E as the bass note for the A minor chord,
to emphasize the motion even more.
It's also okay to experiment with a D7 over F sharp, if you like.
A simple structure like this lends itself to variations and experiments.
You can repeat the last chorus an extra time.
Have fun!
