"All joy escapes..." "And I can't make this..."
The second half of the chorus changes the picking a bit, but the notes are the same...
get a nice upbeat rhythym and it will sound fine.
The break after the chorus uses the first two finger positions of the verse, but with a
upbeat picking pattern.
This should serve as a good starting point to the song, now you just need a someone like
to sing it with...
PLAY TOO ..
