*Listen to song for strum pattern
Part III
Here (and on the last two chords or Part II) specific picking
goes out the window. Instead sort of combine strumming the chords
and following the basic picking pattern from Part I.
Chord progression is the same as Part I until the very end.
The last line is:
Cadd9 Dadd9 Esus4 E
"No sleep in Heaven or Bethlehem."
