    I suggest that you fret the fourth fret with your pointer finger and let all
    the other fingers do the stretching. Also, make sure that you sustain that
  • A note on the low E string and play the rest with the other fingers. For
    example, when you play measure three, you should be barreing the fourth fret
    with your pointer, hammer on and pull off that fifth fret on the B string
  • with your middle finger; then hit the fifth fret of the low E string (the A
    note) with your middle finger; next hit the seventh fret of the D string with
    your pinky and finally hit the sixth fret on the G string with your ring
  • finger. I know it requires a lot of painful stretching, but you should get
    used to it. Anyway, here are the lyrics with everything else:
