Play verse and chorus again

then play verse without stacato on the forward motion part
at the end.  At the very end of the sang there is that piano part.
which is really catchy.  I play the piano also so if you would like 
the sheet music or a midi of it I already have one made so just send
me your e-mail and I'll send it to you as fast as i can. 

I transcribed the piano part for the guitar just for fun.

If you havent figured out what stacoto is yet, It's when you leave a short space between each note.
Ex: DahDahDahDah-(Regular) (Sorry about the "Dah" stuff, I also
Dah,Dah,Dah,Dah-(Stacoto) play the Trombone. Dah=strum)
Think short space(Really short!)
Hope this helped,
God Bless,

First line is right(except for one note, the second time it stays on 6, not up to 8 again), but second line is
