So E, E, D, B with the fourth finger, B, A, G. So again, fix those notes in your head. Get all the way up to the high E. And you're playing E, E, D, B, B, A, G. So, so far we've got quite a bit of the song here. We've got the E, to B, a slur F-sharp, G, then B, D, E, D, B, C-sharp, A, B. Then we jump back up for that high E. E, D, B, B, A, G."
