Note: Most of the song is one chord / bar, but the interlude and outro go to "double-time" as indicated by
the closely spaced chords for a double-time feel, then switch to 4 quick chords (single-strum chops) per bar.
There's a walk down that goes something like this (the 5 on the A-string can also be a 0 on the D-string):
e|--F#m2------------------------2Bm--------|
B|--2------------------------3--------|

E|--2---------------------------------|
Finally, the Bm at the beginning of the chorus and the F# near the end of the chorus (both right before the
N.C.) are played as an abrupt, quickly muffled strum or "chop."
