Ylvis is really talented musically, in addition to being funny. Their chord selection
here attests to that.
I recommend listening to the song for the exact timing of the chords, but the way they
are written here should provide some useful indication.
This version makes a greater use of open chords, and those who are into using such
chords should find it more suitable.
