This is pretty straightforward to play though watch for the timing; there 
are bars of 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. The asterisks are a guide to the beats. Notice 
the repeats on the intro and the first bar of the verse. As always, listen 
to the recording if you want to understand the song structure more clearly; 
there is an instrumental break which is basically the same as the verse. 
Have fun :o)
