Notes:

-The opening staff has a shifting time signature (between 4/4 and 3/4) so
 the timing is marked -- the rest of the song is in 4/4
-Dots (...) under a staff indicate where the downbeats fall (1 2 3 4)
-Guitar chords are included above the staff

=...hold note                       o
/...slide up                        o...repeat (from beginning of staff)
