I found other versions to be quite over complicated so, although this may not
be exactly how the original is played, I made this so novices can have a jam happy playing y'all :)
(not same key as original but if you listen to the
[Intro:] C G F C G intro you should get an idea of timing - I've
C G F C tried to space the chords to match the song)
C G C G
Ooh-oo child, Things are gonna get easier
C G Am

C G C G
