Hey guys, this is a fairly simple song. Has its quirks but it's easy nevertheless.
The following are the chords for the song. Between brackets are the chords with a
capo on the third fret, which I realised makes the song simpler to play. (BTW, I
know the chords can be misplaced over the lyrics, but it was kind of hard) Enjoy!
