NOTES:
-The whole song is played with bar chords, although A sounds fine open obviously. I
to match the timing to the lyrics.
-For the E chords play the bar chord, not the open.
-The bits in the chorus that go A A A E or A A E, try to slide up from the A to the E
you're playing an open A).
-The riff goes along with the words Peter sings, just follow them as you listen to get timing.
