CHORUS RIFF:
This is played in exact time with the voacls (therefore easy to sing and play), there is a
slight variation on the "I wanna crank it all the way", Play the notes a little looser before
that part and on that play them harder and play them quickly by taking your finger off
immediately. The lick at the end is optional cos I think only the guitar does so you can just
ignore that if you want.
