Things are pretty straightforward up until verse 2. Though you’ll want to watch out for the buzzed ghost notes (the ones with the “z” on the stems) which are littered throughout the song. And, of course, the extra beat in bar 10!

From verse 2 things get a bit weirder. Bars 27-30 have a dreamy feel so you’ll want to reflect that in your playing. The last chorus is full of fills, so take your time with those.

Enjoy, this is a fun song to play!
