Capo: 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
The tuning is the same as in many of Alan's other songs.
From low-to-high it's E-A-C#-E-B-e.
Alan's got a motif he returns to throughout the song, which I call the base. He switches the
final measures pretty frequently though. The parts that aren't the base I call "features,"
and there are six of them.

Repeat the base part once, then play feature 2:
