                                  That repeats the end of the song

The structure is pretty easy to figure out. Just blast the bass
 on your stereo and jam to it. Some of the stuff is very hard to 
pick out, but if you follow along, I tried to put as much detail
 as I could. Please rate ( good or bad )
