I separated the parts above to show how the song's parts are arranged.
If you look, you will notice that the middle two sections are the same.
Also, the music under the first verse and chorus is NOT the same as the
rest of the verses and choruses.  Very very sneaky!!! :) (And he almost
got away with it!!!)

Enjoy! :)!

P.S.  For part 'E', there are some different things you can play that
still fit.  Here's my favorite:

I like to play this part finger-picked, so I can really hit that bass
note hard.  It accentuates the timing, and it sounds great!
