I understand that some people who don't have access to a capo (makeshift or
otherwise!) would like to play this song, so here's my version. The album version 
is tuned a half step down, but you can choose whether or not you'd like to play it that way.

*  I made the Bm chord in the filler optional. It's how it's supposed to be 
played, but if like me you find the transitions harder with the Bm in there, then 
leave it out. It's fine either way :)

I'm also open to any corrections, but I'm fairly sure that this is around 98% 
accurate. Thanks for playing this!
