================================
NOTES:
1. Use barre chords (root on the E string) with a ska/reggae rhythm.
2. E should be played as a C-shaped barre chord (root on the A string).
3. These lyrics and chords/tab are only how I interpreted the song, so feel free to 
experiment/substitute/comment/etc. if you disagree!
4. Enjoy!
