Capo 4
Standard Tuning

These chord progressions are very Toh Kay's style so it wasn't too hard to figure out 
the gist of em. Any and all corrections are welcome! It's a great song that receives the 
Toh Kay treatment exceptionally well. Enjoy :)

Side note: chords shown are just the formations, not the actual note values.
