***************************************
The key changes in this song between the Verse/Interlude and Chorus.
My best guess is that A as the core key (it resolves at A at the end), but the chorus switches to C or Am.
Of course, it's capoed at 1, so technically that's Bb for the verse, and Db/Bbm for the chorus.
**** Walk-down played in last bar of the intro
