NOTE - At the very end of the song I have put question marks beside two chords. They
sound close but I can't help but feel they are incorrect. Please comment corrections if
I'm wrong!
- I'm posting two different ways to play certain chords. To keep things simple play
them the first way however I feel the second chords sounds nicer. Take your pick and
enjoy! :)
