take time to get used to all the bends.
It starts with the words "The country was founded on

Now there's lots of horrible but brilliant feedback,
a bit of guitar as well but just mess around. That's what James did.
Unless anyone can tell me how he plays it?

Anyway, this all happens when James says "The slave begins by
demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown."
