PERFORMANCE NOTES:
*the (G) is just a ghost root note and is completely optional
**If the chord change isn't on the first syllable of a lyric, it's because the chord
changes of the middle of the word and change your rhythm accordingly. It's not so much the
rhythm of the strum but the way the word is spoken.
