The bridge is probably the real reason you people are here,
since it wasn't included in the other tab and it's why I wrote
this in the first place. For people who want to get more
complicated, it has several direct transition notes between
the chords you can play.
Also, the last part of the bridge can be done like this (relative to capo)
