- the G A G A progression is played like this (powerful sound)

- 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
