"Sleepwalk " by Santo and Johnny

Difficulty: Intermediate

Ok, so I was watching Stephen King's Sleepwalkers last night. Don't ask. Anyway, this song came on and I just had to put it up. I actually forgot how cool this song was until I heard it. Of course, you are supposed to play one of the guitars with a slide, but I thought, hey, we can fake through this one with ease. The rhythm to this song is actually easy. For the intro and the verse, you will just be playing each chord five times. Remember, FIVE TIMES! It will throw the song off if you don't keep the rhythm going just like that. The only time there is a change in the rhythm is during the chorus, which you can see is just playing the chords six straight times before going into each measure.

Here are the staffs that tell you what is what. If you see a staff that doesn't look like the ones below, just remember that you will be playing that chord the number of times the staff comes down.

Here is what you see in the intro and verse ( notice the rest at the end of the fifth strumming ) :
