 Pretty simple song, but none of the verses or choruses are quite the same,
 and there's a half phrase in the middle, so be careful. You can throw a
 low open e as you switch between G and C chords in the first part of the
 verses. If you listen to the strumming in the first verse you can hear it.
 
 Intro: G C x2
