Notes:
-'*' means to palm mute and resume strumming on the following chord
-I highly reccommend listening to the original song a few times to memorize where and when to change chords,
especially during the intro and bridge.
-The dash (-) between some chords in the bridge indicates a fast chord progression that usually begins with
the first chord being half-strummed compared to the original strumming pattern.
