I'm quite sure the timing will end up wrong in the bridge, but it's hard to work it out.
With the chords, you shoul dbe able to figure it out for yourself! I'm quite sure this
end up looking a mess when it's submitted, but you'll get the gist.
UPDATE: Chord diagrams added, finally, hope that helps, sorry they weren't there before!
