For the lead riff play as a barre with the index finger at
the 3rd fret, use the little finger to play the other notes.
The Choruses were sung acapella, so the chords in brackets
are just my suggestion, implied by the vocal harmonies,
to fill the sound out for a solo performer.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please IGNORE ALL CHORD BOXES the website displays, they are
not my personal choices. Those diagrams are generated
automatically from the site's generic database and often do nots
how the best options for a particular chord progression.
Please use the voicings suggested in the text column numbers.
