READ THIS: This song is difficult to play, and I've tried my best to point out the
little things (such as when sections change), but you will have to listen to the song to know
where and when to switch chords, and how to play the song regarding force and such, as
all those things were too hard for me to write out in a way that you would understand.
This is made completely by ear, and is played on the piano but works just as well on any
other instrument (e.g. guitar). I found that none of the other interpretations on this
site did the original justice, so here's to this beautiful, beautiful song.
If you would like me to take out any other song Patrick has made, I would be glad to.
Message me, and I'll see what I can do!
