After looking at the other tab/chords for this song, It didn't mention that there are
more than one key changes, which is why there are so many chords to play for this song.
The song in in a quick, steady pace (apart from the cadences at certain points, listen
to the song to find out where they are.) I'm not certain that this is totally correct,
however. Just have fun playing :)
