 Note that the Final chorus sounds a lot like the normal chorus, except Dan plucks once
 each note change and lets it ring.
 
 Please note that I am very precise on the timing, watch the notch(-)count
 between notes.
 
 Please rate and comment! I hope this tab is helpful, and that you all have fun playin' it!
 
 Ja mata!
