********RHYTHM NOTES********
Much syncopation. Check here for a primer on the main rhythm:

Visual notation of the rhythm vs. chords (explanation to why the third chord lags behind a bit):
http://imgur.com/LQjm50k
("-sand" starts on the e of 2, but the third chord starts on the and/+ of 2
transposed to Am for clarity. Bass clef notes are and's, lower voice in treble line counts quarter notes)
1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a | 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a | < beat
D D U U D D U U D D U | U D D U U D D U D D U | < strum direction
/ | / / | < chord (/ = new chord)
(added the accented downstrum on the and of 2 in the second measure for the given strum pattern;
allows for players to play the chord changes as well)
