BRIDGE chords:

(Lead-in)C


That's it! Sorry I didn't get too elaborate on the Bridge (it's somewhat indistinct). The last chorus is played twice due to the extra phrases in the singing. After playing through the intro the last time, finish it off with a simple open G chord. 

When playing the Chorus and the second half of the verses, try using your left thumb to "stop" the E string on the F and D7 chords (It'll be easier for you to play the top string melodies with less disruption!)

Have fun and good luck with your gig!
