This is a complete transcription of most of the song’s essential tracks, as the screenshots show: all the vocal parts (both lead and backing choir), the bass (arranged for keyboard, 4-stringed, and 5-stringed bass guitar), the electric guitar, and the memorable percussion components: the opening synthesizer claves, the hand claps, and the castanets.
Transcribing this has been an enormous work but also a joy. Enjoy!
