Tips:
-At the end of verse 3 - you want to only play the 4 central strings of D, and the 4
of F - and palm muting them between strums works well.
-For the last bit, use your thumb for the notes on the low E or you've got no chance!

And everyone I knew right then pressed me to the floor
I tried to keep on breathing but the people would not give
And all the evil in the world the people would not give
Is this me for life?
