Notes:
The last F on each of the verses should be an F power chord on low E, rather than 
a open/barre chord.
The last G during the bridge is similar.
All of the chords during the bridge except the last G should be barred from the A string,
        e.g. Am - x0221x, Bb - x13331x, C - x35553, Dm - x57765, Em - x79987
Last chord - xx3210
