This line moves downward step by step. It is one of the easiest parts of the song.
Then practice the middle section:
t t r r e e w
t t r r e e w
This part repeats exactly, so once you learn it once, you can play it twice.
Finally, return to the opening melody and finish the song:
q q t t y y t
r r e e w w q
