Some other uploaded versions of this song had some weird, unresolved formatting issues and were difficult to read. Also, the only other "chords" version was a special acoustic arrangement in a different key. This is really a simple song and probably the most difficult part is getting over the "wordiness" of it. Enjoy! [Verse]
