("where... (spring is sprung)")
there are some minor picking variations: the most common is for
the second bar of the first verse-pattern to become:
|0------------0--|
|-------0--------|
|-----0---0------| (usually just before going into the
|---2-------2----| second verse-pattern)
|--2---2---2---2-|
