Capo: 2
This is my first submission so let me know what you think.
Kudos to the other two versions of this for starting me off.
Here's my version which has some other chords that I worked
out by ear which I think sound good singing solo with.
I've also done my best to line the chords up with the syllable on
which I play it. Basically there's three rhythmic patterns to the chords
if you look at it in 4/4. I break them down at the bottom if you're
having trouble getting it, or you can always just play along with
the song.
