just a simple way of playing it acoustically. hopefully it works out for everyone!
the notes in brackets are just optional little add ons i like to throw in, not
complicated cos i'm dense but it gives it a nice swingy sound. so just stick to
the A in the verse etc. hopefully it's playable at least. enjoy!
corrections encouraged.
