AI reference · supporting evidence Mixed · 4/4 · about 80 BPM

Complete compact accompaniment arrangement for the 415-second recording. Fingerpick the spacious intro, instrumentals, verses, and outro with a repeating 4/4 arpeggio; use restrained brush strums for the final verse or keep the picking pattern throughout. Chord spellings and lyrics are reconciled directly from the supplied sheet.

Timing check: At 79 BPM in 4/4, each bar is 3.038 seconds. The arrangement contains 136 bars, estimated at 413.25 seconds, or 0.996x the verified 415-second duration.

Expected about 137 bars; arranged 119.0 bars (about 362 seconds, recording 415 seconds).
