AI reference · supporting evidence Fingerpicked · 6/8 · about 60 BPM

Complete compact accompaniment arrangement in 6/8 at 80 BPM. Use a repeating six-note fingerpicked figure for most sections, with each chord event generally occupying one dotted-quarter pulse (half a bar); paired events therefore share a bar. The arrangement uses 152 bars, approximately 228 seconds of accompaniment, with the remaining recording time plausibly covered by sustained vocal/instrumental phrasing and held final chords.

Timing check: 152 bars × 1.5 seconds = 228 seconds, or 0.80× the 285-second verified recording; extended vocal holds, instrumental sustain, and final-ring time account for the remaining duration.

Expected about 190 bars; arranged 148.0 bars (about 222 seconds, recording 285 seconds).
Intro and instrumental: strings 6-3-2-3-1-3 Verse: strings 6-3-2-3-1-3 Chorus: strings 6-3-2-3-1-3
