- Lots of string muting in the G A G A part
- I play the G A G A part by barring the A (x02222)
with my index finger leave the A string (string 5)
open and tap the G note with my middle finger.
- Start the first verse after the 4th repeat of intro
so Hangman would come in on repeat 5.
- Listen to the song to get timing
- I also broke the song up into verses to make it
easier to keep track. The way I broke them up
may not be the way it was originally written
