Tuning: Standard
So this is a rough idea of the song. It's not 100% correct but it's pretty close. It's
easy song to play and sing so hopefully this helps some people of you guys out. The only
that may trip some people up is the strumming but it's easy once you hear the song
a few times.
Enjoy and have fun learning it!
