I rewrote the chords as I best heard them from the actual Owl City song but in a
key.  They have basic inspiration drawn from version 1
it already having been posted on here.  Although far from perfect this version has a few
most notably the timing for when to play the chords.  Also this is intended as a
friendly version (standard
but should work on guitar just fine.  Jam with your uke friends! Yay!
