Notes:
-- Karine sings the first verse initially to the A-melody, then later to
the B-melody, and finally to the A-melody again.
I find this very confusing (two melodies to the same words), so I confine that verse to the A-Melody only.
-- Karine plays in F, so I've written this in F. I personally transpose it to G, with no capo.
PS this is NOT the alternative melody performed by Ross Harris (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2K3aSQ4fi8)
