Verse (17 measures):
-------------------#Synthesizer:#
[Dm Em F C ] until two last measures: [Dm | Em]
(The Sythesizer has an effect on it during the 8 first measures that
boucnes from one
to the next
but if you listen closely there is an arpeggio like this:
|--8--8--------8-|
|--10---10-------|
|--9-------9-----|
|------------7---|
After the first 8
the synthesizer

in whole notes).

playing the same chord in arpeggio with a few variances.
