Starting point: At the vocals, at about 0:14.

 

Sequence: A B Tag A B A Tag A Tag A B Partly B

 

Note: At the end, after you’ve done the full B, you’ll do the last 16 counts of the B –section again.

This is the “Partly B” –section. It’ll fit to the music so you know when it’s coming. After that, you only have the ending left.

 

Ending: At the end, you can hear the sharp guitar chords for 5 counts. See the Ending –section at the end of the step sheet for more info.
