This is an incredibly simple way to play this song. I'm not saying it's exact, but it
works great playing acoustic. I alternate between barre and open chords with the G, as
it's easier to switch to a barred Gm from a barred G. I'll label the barred G's as G*. Have fun with it and
develop your own way to play it! But like I said, very simple, and a fun song to play. Hope you enjoy.
