as well as the melodic line on the G-string.
Since the harmony only changes twice, I just assigned numbers 1-3
to each chord for each melodic note.}

My preference is to omit it.}

=====
{The following chords reflect the harmony as well as
the other guitar fill that shifts between A and F# on the high e string.
Listen to the part in the song and you can hear the pattern of how it's played.
I just named the chord the overall harmony plus (A) in parenthesis to denote
the pattern of switching between the two listed chords.}
