# Lyrics of "Guitar Man" by Bread (snippet)
lyrics = """
[Verse 1]
Well, I’m just a poor boy, I’ve got a guitar in my hand.
I’m looking for a place where I can sing my song.

[Chorus]
I’m a guitar man, I’m a guitar man, yeah.
I’m a guitar man, I’m a guitar man, yeah.

[Verse 2]
People say I’m lucky, but I don’t know what they mean.
The world is full of funny things, but I’m living my dream.

[Outro]
And when I play my guitar, it feels so fine.
I play my guitar, I feel so free.
"""

# Define the song title
song_title = "guitar man"

# Step 1: Count how many times the title appears in the lyrics
title_count = lyrics.lower().count(song_title.lower())
print(f"The title '{song_title}' appears {title_count} times in the lyrics.")

# Step 2: Find the index of the 50th word
words = lyrics.split()  # Split the lyrics into individual words
if len(words) >= 50:
    print(f"The 50th word is: '{words[49]}'")  # 0-based index
else:
    print("The lyrics contain less than 50 words.")

# Step 3: Replace the first verse with the last verse
# Splitting verses based on structure in the provided lyrics
lyrics_sections = lyrics.split("\n\n")  # Assuming verses are separated by double newlines

if len(lyrics_sections) >= 2:
    first_verse = lyrics_sections[0]
    last_verse = lyrics_sections[-1]

    # Replacing the first verse with the last verse

    print("\nLyrics after replacing the first verse with the last verse:\n")

    print("\nCustom song by concatenating two verses:\n")

The title 'guitar man' appears 4 times in the lyrics.
The 50th word is: 'I’m'

Lyrics after replacing the first verse with the last verse:

[Outro]
And when I play my guitar, it feels so fine.
I play my guitar, I feel so free.


[Chorus]
I’m a guitar man, I’m a guitar man, yeah.
I’m a guitar man, I’m a guitar man, yeah.

Custom song by concatenating two verses:


[Verse 1]
Well, I’m just a poor boy, I’ve got a guitar in my hand.
I’m looking for a place where I can sing my song.
[Chorus]
I’m a guitar man, I’m a guitar man, yeah.
I’m a guitar man, I’m a guitar man, yeah.

It was known far and wide for its amazing abilities to charm and protect the forest.

One day, a curious adventurer stumbled upon the creature. The adventurer asked, "What are you, Rose Tiger?"
With a soft roar and a gentle rustling of its petals, the Rose Tiger replied, "I am both fierce and delicate, 
able to fight and heal. But only if you respect the balance of nature."

The adventurer nodded, amazed by the creature's wisdom and beauty. And so, the Rose Tiger continued to watch over the forest,
