All along the song is played with a complicated arpeggio over the chords (with a bass line on fifths) that I'm not able to play. If you play it, congratulations! For the instrumental bridge I've provided basic chords for filling but Roddy plays variations of them. On the chorus the transition from Am to C6 is a fast movement of one finger only without moving the left hand shape. The E7! and F! means to play a strong clap with the right hand. Good luck!
