This is the way i play this song in standard tuning. The chords might be hard to get the right strumming.
Mostly because the vocal doesn't really follow the guitar strumming.
----> The arrow at the end of each paragraph mean you have to play this at the end of each sentence.
I play the D/A chord like this :
e :---|
b :-3-|
g :-2-|

a :-0-|
