NOTES:
Tuning is one tone below standard: DGCFAD. Chords below are ACTUAL chords.
Hence, a voicing may be e.g. 022100, but the sound you'll make is a D-chord.
I've included chord voicings and notes in each section of the song as some
chords are unusual. The CHORUS chords are predominately jazz voicings, which
look fierce, but with practice can be nailed.

CHORUS:
Chorus notes:
The first four chords are jazz voicings. These are not barréd, in case you
were wondering... I've indicated the fingers to use for each of these chords,
which may help. It will still take practice to nail the transitions, though.
But it's worth it...!
