So, I'm a semi-beginner. I've been playing for about 6-7 months. When I first picked up
my guitar, this was instantly one of the first songs I wanted to play because it's
always been one of my favorites. Upon searching on here, and youtube, I didn't see any
versions that were "easy", or that made sense at all just in general. So, I just listened and
worked on it, and this is how I think it sounds best, enjoy! :)
****NOTE: chords with the * beside them are the points of the song in which I only strum
that note once... That's just how I like to play it, it isn't necessary if you don't
like it :)
