Gaelic Storm
Swimmin' in the Sea
------------------------

Capo 1

G 320003
C x32010
D xx0232
Am x03320

The G - C D always hits with G on beat one, C on three, and D on four.
Let me know if the placeholder (-) or separator (|) is confusing/out of place.
I'm trying to keep things so people know where measures/chords are.
