Notice how the rhythm for the bass line changes to an off the beat feel for the "turn around", the last measure of the pattern. This is not an easy song to sing in this key. Feel free to change the key as needed. I sometimes think this song would be better for keyboard players than guitarists and it would lend itself well to an ensemble arrangement.
